What is the Go Barrhead?
The Go Barrhead idea is simple: There are lots of benefits to be gained from making small changes to the way you travel. By walking, cycling or using the bus or train more often, we can all become healthier, make our streets safer, the air cleaner and Barrhead a nicer, healthier place to live, work and have fun!
Go Barrhead encourages healthy and active lifestyles, combining the benefits of good facilities and good information. Go Barrhead is a three year project designed to create more opportunities for residents in Barrhead to walk, cycle and use public transport, with an objective to encourage residents to lead more active and environmentally friendly lifestyles.
The project is being led by East Renfrewshire Council and is funded by the Scottish Government through the Smarter Choices, Smarter Places Initiative.
