Glasgow Airport has proposed extending its Noise Insulation Scheme to cover around 600 additional properties, including homes in Clydebank’s Whitecrook area.
The announcement follows a public consultation on the airport’s Noise Action Plan 2024–2028, which aims to reduce noise impacts on surrounding communities.

If approved, the scheme could help up to 1495 residents reduce noise annoyance and sleep disturbance.
Commenting on the scheme’s expansion, Clydebank councillor William Rooney said: “This change is a welcome development in Whitecrook, and I look forward to the positive effects this will have in our communities.
“With the new eligibility rules, hundreds of homes will be able to secure thousands of pounds in grants for measures to cut noise pollution.”
The proposed scheme would give each newly eligible property a £5000 grant — exceeding the UK Government’s minimum requirements for noise mitigation.

For Whitecrook residents, this could mean a combined total of more than £300,000 in funding.
Eligible improvements include upgraded windows, acoustic air vents, improved loft insulation and better external doors.
Streets expected to benefit include Angus Street, Lappin Street, Abbott Crescent, Johnston Avenue, McDonald Crescent, McGregor Street, Bell Street, White Street and parts of the East Barns area.
Cllr Rooney said: “I’m hopeful that we’ll receive formal confirmation in the coming weeks.
“This is a landmark moment for Whitecrook — hundreds of homes stand to benefit from substantial noise insulation grants, bringing forward meaningful, life-enhancing change for our residents.”
