The changes will give priority to walking, wheeling, cycling and public transport over cars.

It will create new public spaces with the aim of making the town centre “a more active, inclusive and engaging place in which to spend time”.

Residents, businesses and community groups are being invited to "help further guide efforts to revamp the public realm areas in the town".

Gordan Low, Leader of East Dunbartonshire Council, said: "I hope as many residents, businesses and groups as possible can share their local experience and knowledge to help develop a design which best reflects the needs and desires of the town.

"It's important to note that this concept plan is not set in stone. It's an overview of aspirations for Bishopbriggs town centre.

"All feedback will be collated and analysed, and will inform detailed proposals. Further consultation will then be held.

"It's envisaged that works will be delivered in phases. Support has already been secured from the Glasgow City Region City Deal, but additional funding will also be sought. Please give your views if you can."
