MOTIONS 13 WITHDRAWAL OF LOCAL BUS SERVICES MOVED: COUNCILLOR MOODY SECONDED: COUNCILLOR POLSON Council notes that Glasgow Citybus (part of the West Coast Motors group) has given notice to the Traffic Commissioner of its intention to withdraw two of its local bus services currently operating in East Dunbartonshire, namely: Service 15 - Milngavie - Glasgow City Centre and; Service 142 - Bishopbriggs Circular Council condemns the decision to remove these vital local bus services that serve our local communities. This decision will have a particular negative effect on those individuals and groups of in East Dunbartonshire communities who rely on public transport to access employment, local services and leisure facilities. This withdrawal will lead to an increase in isolation to members of our communities leading to greater level of social exclusion for these individuals and groups which is in direct contrast to policy objectives in National, Regional and Local Transport Strategies and the Council's commitment to promoting inclusion. Council therefore, a. Invites all group leaders and independent Councillor to write to Glasgow Citybus outlining the Council's disappointment at their decision to withdraw these services; and b. Invites all group leaders and independent Councillor to write to the Scottish Government and Strathclyde Partnership for Transport outlining the Council's disappointment at the decision to withdraw these services and request a meeting to discuss the future options for ensuring these services are retained for the local communities. Contact No. Item Description Page No. No. 14 NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL OF BUS SERVICES MOVED: COUNCILLOR CUMMING Glasgow Citybus which currently operates bus service No15 that runs from Milngavie through Bearsden into the West End, Charing Cross and finally to the City Centre, has given notice that they will be withdrawing service No15, with the last day of operation being Saturday the 29th of June 2019. Service No15 is a well-used service with an excellent route design. In many cases users of this service have no access to alternative transport. Essentially, it is a lifeline that cannot be allowed to be lost by local people. This Council agrees that the Chief Executive: 1. Writes to The Chief Executive of Strathclyde Partnership for Transport offering the Council's full and unequivocal support in their efforts to review the situation to determine what actions need to be taken to ensure that essential links are maintained. 2. Writes to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity, the MSPs for Clydebank and Milngavie, and Strathkelvin and Bearsden, the MP for East Dunbartonshire, and all West of Scotland list MSPs, asking them to campaign for the retention of this vital service to ensure onward travel links, and access to essential services are maintained. 3. Should report back to the full Council meeting on 27th June 2019 on any progress made in relation to the continuation or otherwise of Service No 15. EXCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC It is recommended that the Special Council pass the following Resolution:- “That under Section 50A (4) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, as amended, the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the following items of business on the grounds that they may involve the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraphs 1, 2, 6, 8 and 9 of Part 1 of Schedule 7A of the Act”. ….. 3458 10 Shared Equity Purchase, Torrance - Report by 361-362 Depute Chief Executive – Education, People & Business. (Appendix 2 herewith). ….. 8639 15 Proposed Transfer of King George V Flat and 363-368 Lockup, Bearsden to Housing Revenue Account - Report by Depute Chief Executive – Place, Neighbourhood & Corporate Assets.

Due to the desirable school catchment area and the accommodation being predominantly all-on-the-level, the property will appeal to both families and clients looking to downsize. The property was extensively modernised and extended between 2015 and 2016, to provide a beautiful blend of modern, contemporary finishes, along with the traditional appeal of a period bungalow. The flexible five apartment layout allows the property to be utilised as either a three or four bedroom home, depending on preference, and Planning Permission has been passed to further extend the upper level over the existing rear extension, to provide an additional bedroom (East Dunbartonshire Planning Reference – TP/ED/19/0534). The property comes complete with gas central heating, double glazing, considerable off-street driveway parking and a detached garage. The rear garden has been professionally landscaped to a high standard in the last twelve months and now features a deck, raised flower beds and a luscious re-laid lawn.

  • Abellio Scotrail Accessible Travel Policy Approval Decision Letter And
    Marcus Clements Head of Consumer Policy Rail Markets and Economics Email: 12 March 2021 Alex Hynes Managing Director Abellio Scotrail By Email Dear Alex, Approval of Abellio Scotrail’s (Scotrail’s) Accessible Travel Policy (Condition 5 of the Station Licence and GB Statement of National Regulatory Conditions: Passenger) Thank you for submitting Scotrail’s revised Accessible Travel Policy (ATP) for approval. We have reviewed the ATP against the September 2020 “Accessible Travel Policy Guidance for Train and Station Operators” (the guidance). I can confirm that Scotrail’s ATP now meets the requirements of Condition 5 of its station licence and GB Statement of National Regulatory Conditions: Passenger (SNRP). When I last wrote to you on 18 June 2020, confirming the approval of your previous ATP, I noted Scotrail’s intention to have designated meeting points in place by the end of June 2020. You have since indicated that COVID-19 restrictions have prevented this from taking place, but that that work will be carried out as soon as it is safe to do so. We will ask for updates at our regular ATP quarterly meetings. Please provide a final proofed and branded version of all ATP documents by 9 April 2021. A copy of the approved ATP will then be published on our website along with a copy of this letter. As you are aware, ATPs must be reviewed by operators on an annual basis. Please submit an updated ATP for ORR review by 31 December 2021. Yours sincerely, Marcus Clements Page 1 of 1 1772246 ScotRail Accessible Travel Policy January 2021 P2 Contents A.
