Prestonfield Road and Priestfield Road Improvements

Overview

The Council is proposing to introduce street trees along both Priestfield Road and Prestonfield Road and resurface both roads in their entirety. New footway build-outs will also be introduced at various locations to provide greater footway space and reduce crossing widths.

We’re also proposing to improve the rear entrance to Prestonfield Primary School, by widening the footways and closing a section of the road between Clearburn Road and Clearburn Gardens to all vehicles, except refuse vehicles serving Clearburn Road. This will make the immediate area outside the school more appealing and a safer area for children and parents to meet and gather.

We believe that planting new street trees will help to enhance the attractiveness of the streets, whilst also having a positive impact in mitigating the effects of climate change both now and for future generations.  

Why your views matter

We want to know what you think about our current proposals. Your feedback will help shape the final designs for the street layout of Priestfield Road and Prestonfield Road.

We’re also planning a local in-person event, where members of the public will be able to view the design plans and discuss any other matters further. Details for this event will be confirmed soon.
