  • Glasgow City Council Housing Development Committee Report By
    Glasgow City Council Housing Development Committee Report by Director of Development and Regeneration Services Contact: Jennifer Sheddan Ext: 78449 Operation of the Homestake Scheme in Glasgow Purpose of Report: The purpose of this report is to seek approval for priority groups for housing developments through the new Homestake scheme, and for other aspects of operation of the scheme. Recommendations: Committee is requested to: - (a) approve the priority groups for housing developments through the new Homestake scheme; (b) approve that in general, the Council’s attitude to whether the RSL should take a ‘golden share’ in Homestake properties is flexible, with the exception of Homestake development in ‘hotspot’ areas where the Housing Association, in most circumstances, will retain a ‘golden share’; (c) approve that applications for Homestake properties should normally be open to all eligible households, with preference given to existing RSL tenants to free up other existing affordable housing options; (d) approve that net capital receipts to RSLs through the sale of Homestake properties will be returned to the Council as grant provider to be recycled in further affordable housing developments. Ward No(s): Citywide: Local member(s) advised: Yes No Consulted: Yes No PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Any Ordnance Survey mapping included within this Report is provided by Glasgow City Council under licence from the Ordnance Survey in order to fulfil its public function to make available Council-held public domain information.

  • Appendix Boundaries Within Ward Boundaries
    AMENDED NAMES AND DISPOSITIONS OF COMMUNITY COUNCILS’ APPENDIX BOUNDARIES WITHIN WARD BOUNDARIES Please note that, due to overlapping community council and Ward boundaries, community councils can be featured in more than one Ward. For clarity and reference purposes, community councils that are entitled to representation on each of the Council’s 21 Area Committees are featured in bold. Community council areas not currently established, are printed in italics. 1. Linn Ward Carnmunnock Community Council No change. Castlemilk East Community Council No change. Castlemilk West Community Council No change. King’s Park & Croftfoot Community Council King’s Park & Croftfoot Community Council area to de-couple to form a King’s Park Community Council and a Croftfoot & Menock Community Council. King’s Park & Croftfoot Community Council submitted the proposal. Simshill & Old Cathcart Community Council Representation to de-couple the Simshill & Old Cathcart Community Council area to form an Old Cathcart Community Council area and a Simshill Community Council area. Cathcart & District Community Council Cathcart Community Council, for the purposes of the consultation exercise initially explored changes to its area, being a transfer of its north east corner to Langside, Battlefield & Camphill Community Council and to gain a proportion of the south western corner of Newlands & Auldhouse Community Council. Cathcart & District Community Council later indicated it wished to retain its existing disposition of boundary. Langside, Battlefield & Camphill Community Council has requested that the north east corner of Cathcart & District Community Council fall within its boundary to compensate for its potential loss of population by its proposed transfer of the Camphill area to the Shawlands & Strathbungo Community Council area and to better align its southern boundary into a more appropriate local fit.

  • Parishes and Congregations: Names No Longer in Use
    S E C T I O N 9 A Parishes and Congregations: names no longer in use The following list updates and corrects the ‘Index of Discontinued Parish and Congregational Names’ in the previous online section of the Year Book. As before, it lists the parishes of the Church of Scotland and the congregations of the United Presbyterian Church (and its constituent denominations), the Free Church (1843–1900) and the United Free Church (1900–29) whose names have completely disappeared, largely as a consequence of union. This list is not intended to be ‘a comprehensive guide to readjustment in the Church of Scotland’. Its purpose is to assist those who are trying to identify the present-day successor of a former parish or congregation whose name is now wholly out of use and which can therefore no longer be easily traced. Where the former name has not disappeared completely, and the whereabouts of the former parish or congregation may therefore be easily established by reference to the name of some existing parish, the former name has not been included in this list. Present-day names, in the right-hand column of this list, may be found in the ‘Index of Parishes and Places’ near the end of the book. The following examples will illustrate some of the criteria used to determine whether a name should be included or not: • Where all the former congregations in a town have been united into one, as in the case of Melrose or Selkirk, the names of these former congregations have not been included; but in the case of towns with more than one congregation, such as Galashiels or Hawick, the names of the various constituent congregations are listed.

So it was no surprise that when evangelist Billy Graham visited Scotland in 1955 he created a huge stir. His six- week crusade reached more than 2.5 million people at mass meetings and services and 50,000 Scots came forward to make a commitment. His Good Friday address to Glasgow's Kelvin Hall was broadcast on BBC radio to a huge audience - second only to the Coronation. He drew a 90,000 crowd to Hampden stadium and had a full house at Kelvin Hall every night for six weeks. Graham chose Glasgow to start his crusade because it was Scotland's biggest city and he had been told it was "the most sinful place in Britain".
