Asda Barrhead plans go on show
August 1 2012
Asda claim the 25,000sq/ft store will be integrated to the town centre via a range of public realm, access and green space improvements.
Located on a Council owned plot adjacent to the town’s Main Street and the Levern Water the scheme will knit in with a proposed £3.8m extension to the Barrhead Sports Centre.
Lisa Rooke, Senior Property Communications Manager for Scotland, said: “The respondents clearly recognise the need for more supermarket choice in Barrhead and also the need for a low-cost shopping option.
“We are currently considering all the responses we receive and will be feeding these into our proposals before submitting a planning application to East Renfrewshire Council in the Autumn.”
A second community engagement event will take place on August 25 from 11am to 4pm at the Barrhead Sports Centre.

As a Barrhead resident the image would be more appropriate showing neds and zombie junkies wandering around the wind swept plaza.
Main Street has enough issues without introducing a further area for the local scum to congregate in.
The council would be better addressing the social issues first - through more policing and firmer action taken against the minority of people that unfortunately drag the whole image of the town down.
Architectural comments - usual standard retail box with no contextual response whatsoever. What more can you expect from a supermarket!

I've noticed there are a few reasonably designed ASDA stores these days (e.g. Leith), unlike the other major retailers who are still just churning out sheds.

Come on Urban Realm Renzo Trumpets comment was quite amusing - and probably had some truth attached!
