CONTROVERSIAL plans to upgrade Stewartfield Way in East Kilbride have passed the latest hurdle. Councillors last week approved an augmented strategic business case for the £62.2 million project by 17 votes to 11. However, council leader John Ross (Hamilton South) warned that city deal funding could be lost if they didn’t approve the next steps as “other authorities are looking over our shoulders” and are “only happy to see South Lanarkshire fail”. Executive director for community and enterprise Michael McGlynn outlined to the executive committee changes to the project from the original plans to dual the full length of the road. Following an “extensive consultation” in November and December 2019, a dedicated cycleway and walkway along the northern side of Stewartfield Way will be considered to enhance the active travel network and feed into planned improvements on the East Kilbride railway line.
