Add your Waverley Park experience

We need to understand how you move around Waverley Park, where you go, the streets and spaces you like and don’t like as much. That will help us focus on what to improve.

The best way of understanding those things is to ask you, the residents of Waverley Park, about your everyday experiences.

Please tell us! You can take a picture, write a few words, make a video or send us a sketch - whatever is best for you.

I live on Peveril (of the Peak) Avenue. I only became aware of the project when the leaflet was delivered through the door. Thank you to the organisers. I think the intent of the project is great. From the other comments I see that the original in...

I quite enjoy the buzz in our streets and lanes before and after school. I was well aware when I bought a house that backed on to a secondary school that the lane would be used by school children and I've been pleasantly surprised by how well the ...

Cars speeding up Ravenswood Drive can wake me up at night which make me feel tired in the morning and at school.

I find walking with the buggy and my pre schooler (who is often cycling/scooting) can be terrifying. The junctions at both ends of Dinmont Road are particularly difficult because of the speed of the traffic. Dinmont/Moss side the worst. I often ha...

Fast traffic on Dinmont Road regularly sets the baby monitor off and can wake the baby during the night. Some cars are so fast in the late evening/night that it sounds like they use the area as a race circuit.

We love the area overall but dislike the traffic that speeds on some of the local streets. Feel the amount of litter and dog mess at times is a real shame. Lacking in play facilities such as basketball hoop, skate ramp or even water sprinklers for...

I live on Dinmont Road. I have two young children. When we need to get the child with the car seat on the road side in/out of the car it can be quite nerve-wracking when traffic is busy. Cars don't reduce their speed (which is generally far faster...

We've lived on Ravenswood for 30 years. It's a great place to live. Reasons we chose to live here included: 1. The option for children to walk to school, to shops and to friends' houses 2. Public transport links to the city centre. Things...

Lanes The lanes behind Midlothian, Kenilworth and Durward are already attractive, being grassed over, and this could be done in the lanes behind Ravenswood and Dinmont, allowing it to grass and with planting of wildflowers. The council should be...

Firstly, there is very little detail on the project itself. It would be interesting to know what are the relative roles of the Collective, the contractors, the council, sustrans and the Scottish Government. What are the amounts for funding of the ...

I have lived in Waverly Park for around 15 years and have always felt privileged to live in a very green area exceptionally close to local amenities in Shawlands and several large parks that are within walking distance. One of the great advantage...

I would love to turn the old Tusk cinema into a community cinema - the multiplex cinemas on the south side are sadly out at retail parks or the Quay, so not easily accessible to all. It would be great to have an independent cinema this side of the...

Cycling from crossmyloof to Peveril Avenue you always feel there’s a car desperate to get past you and the road space is narrow with parked cars on either side.

The lanes in Waverley Park are a wonderful asset where children have played safely and happily for decades. I’d love to see them being better maintained with better surfaces and fly-tipped items being properly disposed of.

The last lockdown gave the residents of Ravenswood Drive, Durward Avenue and Dinmont Road a tantalising glimpse of what the rest of Waverley Park enjoy as a matter of course - quiet roads. The reduction in noise, disruption and pollution was mark...

I am totally against any road closures within Waverley Park estate. It has been suggested the closure of Dinmount rd/ Durward ave would be an option amongst others. In my opinion this would delay access to any emergency vehicles to the estate and ...

Traffic management is desperately needed - too many cars passing through, too many at high speed!

We feel that the lane at the time that Shawlands Academy comes out needs some supervision as there is often anti-social behaviour at that time (e.g. fireworks being let off) and either proper securing of the playing fields out of hours or some CCT...
