WELCOME & APOLOGIES Chairman Ann Laird welcomed everyone to the meeting, 2. EXTERNAL REPORTS – a. COMMUNITY POLICE- No police present for report. b. RESEARCH PROJECT INFO – Steve Rolfe: Mr Rolfe introduced himself as a PhD student at Glasgow University and is doing research into the impact of Community Involvement and what it achieves, and asked if the members were willing to take part in two workshops he would like to organise in the next few weeks. He had read some of the past Minutes online, and would come back to us with his results of the first two workshops. There would then be a further two meetings in about a years’ time. A date was organised for the first meeting. c. COUNCILLORS: Cllr Ken Andrew :- • Consultation on Restricted Parking Zones proposed for DHKCC area to ease parking problems here, although excluding Hughenden. Question is should this be included? Maybe it actually should be. Part of problem is that car ownership has increased over the years. • Complaints regarding leaf and leaf mould and the need to get this cleaned up. • Martin McKelvie LES says he has to work within street cleaning budget to tackle this. • Novar Drive Nursery – fitted shutters not right for conservation area. • Work on Old Station Park in final phase. More money needed. • Suggestion for Senior Pupils from Hyndland Sec to participate in City Chambers. Cllr Martha Wardrop:- ! Hyndland Traders had a meeting ! Council Parks – ‘peace pole’ will send on details ! Bird feeders and garden planters from community service housing project for sheltered housing, care homes etc.; ! Upgrade entrance to Old Station Park at Lauderdale Gardens ! Large puddle at Novar Drive Nursery – generally gets missed out by LES maintenance groups. ! Meeting of Air Quality at Hillhead Community Council – changes needed to deal with this. Again, taxi’s idling causing problems with this. 3. MINUTES OF LAST MEETING & MATTERS ARISING: • Minutes were read and approved. Matters arising resulting from the resignation of Nick Mayes and Alison Main, which leaves us with 2 more members to be found. Mr Lionel Most would like to apply to be a member, with the further view to possibly replacing Roy Parkin (who has resigned as secretary) as Secretary. • A decision was taken to hold an election for new members. 1 4. TREASURER’S REPORT: (Kristeen Barnes) Balance of £84.65, still waiting for Grant and will give them 10 days before chasing it up. Also in process is grant for admin cost of £165.00 5. CHAIRMANS REPORT: a. Hyndland Gulls – a pilot scheme for spiking the roofs to deter the gulls from nesting is to be put in place. These gulls have become a noisy and messy nuisance. b. Bus Stop, Hyndland, at former bank – the distance between bus stops on Hyndland Road, particularly outside ‘The Rock’ to top of Queensborough should be investigated, as customers finding it too far between them. c. Planning Enforcement, B Listed house, Victoria Crescent Rd above Bowling Green. Had PP/LBC to replace a large tree just inside the entrance. The replacement however has died. When we asked for a new replacement, i.e. for the terms of the PP to be enforced, ENF section said it did not have to be replaced, as it was not big enough to qualify. This strange anomaly occurred apparently based on the new definitions of Trees etc in 2010 legislation. Further questions will be asked. 6. PLANNING APPLICATIONS: (Kristeen Barnes) 291 Byres Road PP Change of classification, from Class 1 to Class 3 #88 Highburgh Road Modify Erection of residential development at 88 Highburgh Planning Road, application 11/01914/DC – discharge of section Obligation 75 agreement.

Handrail wanted in Hughenden Lane to Lauderdale Gardens (via Riccardo Lazzarini). ! Christmas Card and Calendars Ann McKechin MP ! Newsletter from Bob Doris 8. GCC Land & Environmental Services: No report. 9. AOCB: a. GCC Parks Rules Consultation: Worry over proposals to be able to levy a charge on groups for using city parks, groups such as walking groups, nursery groups and dog walkers. Should we let this happen? How is such a charge to be enforced? We will prepare a response after further consideration.

EX OFFICIO: Wendy Rattray (minute secretary) IN ATTENDANCE, Steve Prince – Broomhill Sports Club 2 Police Officers from Maryhill Cllr Martha Wardrop, Cllr Pauline McKeever; Cllr John Letford APOLOGIES: Riccardo Lazzarini (Vice Chairman); Laura Barnett; Oliver Van Helden; Ruth Wallace; Cllr Ken Andrew; Cllr Mohammed Razaq; Cllr Martin Rhodes; Drew Smith MSP; Hanzala Malik MSP. 1. WELCOME & APOLOGIES Chairman Ann Laird welcomed everyone to the meeting, 2. EXTERNAL REPORTS – a. COMMUNITY POLICE- 2 Police Officers attended from Maryhill Police Station and reported on the new template they have been to make all reports easier to follow. The report consisted of crimes in the area from drugs use and dealing, assault, drunk and disorderly, house breaking and theft such as shoplifting. Most theft was of bicycles. They have been asked to look into the speeding on Kirklee Road, Bellshaugh Road and Cleveden Drive, particularly between 4 and 6 pm, also evenings / weekends. b. Steve Prince – Broomhill Sports Club: Mr Prince gave us a run down on his plans for the sports pitch next to the school. He hopes to build a pavilion with facilities for changing, storage, toilets etc. This he feels could also help reduce youngsters using the area as a ‘drinking den’. Funding could come from various sources including Sport Scotland, National Lottery and the Robertson Trust. Although parking could be an issue he said parents park here in any case, to watch and pick up their children. It would also feature a ‘function area’ for community groups, etc. DHKCC to consider, & respond in March. c. Lionel Most – Red Light Speed Camera at Great Western Road/Cleveden Road: Mr Most highlighted the problem at this junction, having been anomalously fined for going through a red light on Hyndland Road. Some of the other members admitted that they tend not to use this junction (a later comment from the police in attendance said he should have contested the fine as they felt it wasn’t valid). d. John Hood – Saltoun St/Ruthven Lane Obstructions: Mr Hood reported on the problems with this Private lane – where drivers often ‘abandon’ their cars as free parking, blocking the lane for residents. Police can’t move the cars as the Lane is private. GCC say it is not their remit to solve this. Also Fly tipping is a problem. DHKCC along with Cllr Martha Wardrop felt it would be a good idea to organize a meeting with the residents and the tenants of the business premises to try and find a solution. e. Hillhead Area Partnership: The meeting was given a report on the Byres Road Traders Association, and the proposed “BID” research to be carried out on the economic viability of Byres Road. Also discussed was the Licensing Policy, overprovision, award profile and the neighbourhood management of the Byres Road Area. Wider things like Education provision and youth employability were also discussed. f. COUNCILLORS: Cllr John Letford:- A quiet month, but still plenty to report on the LES problems of leaves on the pavements, etc; some areas such as Kirklee, North Great Western Road and Anniesland had been given a mechanical sweep which helps alleviate the problem. Trees had been taken down in the conservation area. The house-breaking event had gone well and needs to gather in notes from all who were there. Cllr Pauline McKeever:- Dealt with housing, pavements, etc; Northcote Surgery, and sheltered housing. Cllr Martha Wardrop:- Had attended the Hyndland Traders Association and Old Statiion Park meetings. She had done a walkabout Kingsborough and Queesborough etc noting the problem with leaves again. Note the handrail at Hughenden next to Nursery needed an upgrade – all under review.

  • Glasgow Main Drainage: the Mechanical
    Proceedings.] MOHTON ON GLASGOW MAIN DRAINAGE. 213 (Paper No. 3 9 8 I .) “ GlasgowMain Drainage : the Mechanical Equipment of the Western Works and of the Kinning Park Pumping- Station.” By DAVIDHOME MORTON, M. Inst. C.E. THE main-drainage works of Glasgow and of the adjoining burghs, including certaindistricts inland, havebeen described generally in the Paper presented by Messrs. A. B. McDonald and G. Midgley Tay1or.l Themap given therewith shows the positions of the severalworks described in thisPaper. Although the Author’s duties included the design of the various stations, and in some cases of the building works, the space at disposal renders it necessary for his remarks to be confined to the mechanical details ; and even these cannot be dealt with by any means as fully as he could wish. PARTICKPUMPING-STATION (Fig. 1, Plate 7). The sewage discharged from the Glasgow and Partick intercepting sewers, the former having a diameter of 6 feet and the latter of 5 feet, is dealt with at this station. The head to beovercome is 35 to 36 feet, including a sufficient allowance for loss of head while passing through screens, etc., and for giving assurance that the in- tercepting sewers will, except during very heavy rain, always have a clear fall into the station. The sewage flows across the station and, after being raised by the pumps, is delivered directly over forebays into the main outfall-sewer, where it joins the high-level sewage passing through the aqueduct over the Kelvin, and flows with it to Dalmuir.There are practically no horizontalpipes: the flow of sewage and the behaviour of the pumps are under easy observation ’ Ante, p.
