Apparently there are holes on the green, and the locals are looking into them

Niander, while work was being carried out on Kinloch Green a few years ago workmen found the sewerage system is just below the surface in places.

Whether it be the AWP or new school it would appear there might be challenges ahead to overcome these issues, especially cost wise.

Yes, this was identified in the AWP plans and a cost was added in to address it when they build the AWP. I think it goes from the junction at Kinloch Road and Saddell Street right across the green to the War Memorial if memory serves me right. Thankfully someone highlighted this to the Council before they budgeted for the AWP and took this into consideration.

No, that is the sewerage connection for the new houses that are being built at the former Park Square.

Hopefully they have got that right and there are no surprises when the work starts.

One of the headaches for engineers when the new sewerage system was being installed was the lack of accurate drawings as to where the pipes were and at times plans were non existant possibly because it had been so long ago when the original work had been done.
