🚧 ROADWORKS ADVICE – PLAN AHEAD! 🚧

Burnfield Road will be closed for essential re-surfacing works from Monday 11 August until Friday 22 August. The road closure will be operational between 9am and 4pm, Monday to Friday.

Access to Burnfield Avenue will be unrestricted from Thornliebank from Monday 11 August until Sunday 17 August.

From Monday 18 August until Friday 22 August, Burnfield Avenue will be affected.

The contractor will allow access to and from Burnfield Avenue as much as possible, however there may be delays while they make it safe for all parties for vehicles to pass through the site. Access may be via either the Thornliebank side of Burnfield Road or the Giffnock side. Traffic management personnel will be on site to direct and advise drivers.

It may be necessary to send traffic around the diversion route to gain access from the opposite side; this will depend on the exact location of the works going on at any time.

Please see the link below for further information from East Renfrewshire Council.

A huge shout out to the amazing Gerri! 💛

I have the privilege of working with her son Will, supporting his communication, and I’ve seen just how much love, time and dedication Gerri pours into family life.

When Will was born with Down’s syndrome, Gerri and her family didn’t know what to expect or how life might change. What they now know is that Will has brought them nothing but joy, positivity and happiness—and they often say they’re the lucky ones, because Will chose them.

Gerri has worked tirelessly to create a positive, loving family life and continues to fly the flag for individuals with Down’s syndrome. She’s an absolute force—and she took that same determination and trained hard, going from never having run before to completing the London Marathon! 🏃‍♀️💪

She ran to raise money for the Scottish Down’s Syndrome Association—a charity that’s been there for them through both the good days and the challenging ones.

Let’s help her smash her fundraising target and celebrate everything she’s achieved:
