Community Benefits As part of our commitment to partnership working, South Lanarkshire Council created a food growing group to allow food growing participants to share information and services with internal and external partners as well as create opportunities for learning and development. In 20/21, we have individually or in partnership: • Planted a small orchard (18 trees) at Lanark Loch for use by the local community • Provided 5 apple trees and 15 plum trees for green spaces in Lanark • Incorporated raised beds into the redevelopment of Springhall Cage for the community to plant fruit and vegetables • Installed 6 raised beds in Strathaven Park for use by the community in conjunction with Friends of Strathaven Park and other community groups • Worked with Friends of Fernbrae Meadows to provide a community growing space • Provided 4 planters in Crofthead Park in Uddingston for use by 69 staff and children at Treetops nursery to grow fruit, vegetables and herbs • Facilitated the provision of two large beds in Millheugh Brae Park for the use of the Millheugh growing group • Referred 193 waiting list applicants to the Healthy n Happy Get Growing Network • Passed information to 19 community groups and allotments regarding training sessions on bee keeping and pollination networks • Referred 111 South Lanarkshire Schools to funding opportunities for fruit bushes and orchards through the Tree Council and the Branching Out Fund • Referred 37 members of the Council’s Food Growing Group to the National Lottery Food for Life Get Together sessions, to pass on to their wider user groups • Referred 13 Clydesdale residents on the allotment waiting list to Clydesdale Community Initiative’s Gardener’s Den education resource • Referred 37 members of the Council’s Food Growing Group to CCI’s online training resource through Gardener’s Den to pass on to their wider user base. Created a framework for future referrals from the Council to Clydesdale Community Initiative • Distributed 247 information sheets to allotment plotholders on growing indoors and recycling seeds • Issued biodiversity and sustainability factsheets to all plotholders at South Lanarkshire Council allotments • Referred 151 people waiting for a plot or raised bed in Rutherglen or Cambuslang to Healthy n Happy/ Grow 73’s Let’s Talk About Growing sessions • Liaised with all schools in South Lanarkshire regarding the Royal Horticultural Society’s Campaign for School Gardening and provided details on how to get involved • Distributed wildflower seeds to Council allotment sites to increase insect habitation • Worked with Allers allotments to aid them in creating a communal waste processing and composting area within the site. Bonnie Blantyre/Friends of the Calder has: • Issued 500 packs of seeds to their local community to grow during lockdown. As a result, 11 pumpkins were entered into a carving competition • 500 other seed packs were issued containing 4 different types of seeds • Planted 8 fruit trees in Hunthill orchard • Redistributed most of the produce • Initiated discussions with the local Miner’s Welfare and Community Council to create a community garden Grow 73/Healthy n Happy has: • Issued 250 mini allotment packs during the first lockdown to enable people to grow beans at home. • Distributing growing kits including potatoes and pollinating flowers • Launched a Let’s Talk About Growing online forum.

Clydesdale Community Initiative (CCI) has been working with hospitals and care homes in Clydesdale to present growing opportunities to patients and clients in South Lanarkshire. The Council has also been liaising with NHS Lanarkshire and although numbers involved in growing have reduced due to restrictions (formerly 72 people involved), activities include: • Kirklands inpatient group supported remotely to enable them to continue with their green activities. Project staff still working on site but not at the same time as inpatients • The Clelland group resumed in partnership with ward staff and inpatients. Many inpatients who were unable to participate in activities maintained some contact with the group in a socially distanced way • Ladyholme external volunteers managed raised beds with occasional support from CCI • Beckford Lodge outpatients attend morning sessions and hospital in-patients attend afternoon sessions Care Homes Lockdown restrictions have prevented further opportunities within care homes however Social Work Resources are committed to continue to develop food growing opportunities when it is safe to do so. Schools It has been very challenging for schools to continue food growing throughout long periods of closure however, the following schools who reported activity in 2020/21 include: Canberra Primary Parkview Primary Coulter Primary Southpark Primary Craigbank Primary St Anthony’s Primary Dalserf Primary St John’s Primary Glassford Primary St Leonard’s Primary High Blantyre Primary Tinto Primary Hunter Primary Calderside Secondary Kirkfieldbank Primary Duncanrig High Kirktonholme Primary Rutherglen High Lamington Primary Trinity High Milton Primary Uddingston High Feedback from Education Resources has been collated and over 1300 pupils were directly involved in food growing activities and examples include the provision of raised beds, creation of herb gardens, composting, soup making with the produce, potato crops distributed amongst children, fruit tree and wildflower planting, garden mentoring programmes. 4. Charges A charging framework for new sites was introduced in January 2019 and is based on a m2 rate plus what services are provided such as mains water and these are based on whether sites are unserviced, part serviced or serviced. These charges are set to contribute to site running costs as well as routine repairs and maintenance. As part of a charging policy review, it was agreed by Committee on 22 January 2019 that charges at sites set up prior to the new legislation would be rationalised and brought into line with the new charging framework. The Council planned to introduce this last year however this was delayed

    Fernbrae Meadows Proposed Local Nature Reserve Management Statement Contents Introduction General information Habitats, flora and fauna Landscape Cultural information Recreation and access Local community Conclusion Contacts Appendix 1: Objectives and actions Appendix 2: Maps Introduction Local Nature Reserves (LNRs) are valuable places as they combine protection of the natural heritage with opportunities for people to enjoy, learn about and experience nature close to their homes. LNRs are: • Statutory designations made under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. • Special places which are rich in wildlife. • Generally, readily accessible and suitable for people to visit and enjoy. In declaring these sites, South Lanarkshire Council (SLC) aims to: • Protect them from unsuitable developments. • Manage and enhance the habitats to help biodiversity flourish. • Improve public access. • Help people understand and become more aware of the importance of the LNR. • Encourage community participation and volunteering. SLC have identified fifteen new sites (and an extension to the existing LNR at Langlands Moss) to become designated as LNRs. These encompass a broad spectrum of habitats including ancient broadleaved woodland, open water, wetlands and grasslands. The site management statements are written in conjunction with the South Lanarkshire Biodiversity Strategy (2018-2022), SLC Sustainable Development and Climate Change Strategy (2017-22), SLC Local Development Plan (2013) and SLC Core Path Plan (2012). Vision statement Across South Lanarkshire, Local Nature Reserves are a resource for local communities that balance excellent recreational and educational opportunities with valuable habitats for wildlife that are rich in biodiversity. General information Location and site boundaries: Fernbrae Meadows is located on the far western edge of South Lanarkshire, next to the communities of Fernhill to the north and Cathkin to the east.

    GROW 73 ANNUA F O R 2 0 CHAIRPERSON'S STATEMENT Our parks and green spaces are more vital to us than ever before. We all benefit from the restorative effects of being outside in nature and here in Rutherglen we have our own green space, Overtoun Park. At Grow73 our vision is to establish a green hub in Overtoun Park where we can meet together with friends and neighbours and start to reverse the isolation many of us have felt during lockdown. We believe that taking part in shared outdoor growing activities can help to bring people and the community together, can help us to make new friends and to improve our health and wellbeing. Parks are like border zones somewhere between town and country and I think we have a special emotional attachment to our local park. We need the green space that the park offers and Overtoun Park certainly benefits from our activities. Our garden and our biodiversity area have already generated a remarkable increase in biodiversity in the park. We have planted bulbs and wild flowers in the woodland area and told some of Rutherglen’s history in our heritage trail, The Ruglen Ropewalk. Our volunteers meet there every week and many of our events and activities are based in the park. Our vision spirals out from the park with established plantings at Rutherglen Railway Station and on the Main Street, and further plantings planned for Stonelaw Road, Burnside and beyond to provide a pollinating pathway for our pollinating insects. For the future we plan to develop three of the bowling greens in the park into a thriving community garden.

  • Biodiversity Duty Report 2018 – 2020 1
    South Lanarkshire Council Biodiversity Duty Report 2018 – 2020 1. Introduction 1.1 South Lanarkshire Council (SLC) was established in 1996 under the Local Government etc (Scotland) Act 1994. Under this Act, and through a wide range of other legislation, the Council, as a unitary authority, exercises a range of statutory, regulatory and service functions. 1.2 The Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act (2004) places a statutory duty to further the conservation of biodiversity; the Wildlife and Natural Environment (Scotland) Act (2011) requires the Council to report its compliance with this Biodiversity Duty. 1.3 In order to ensure that the Biodiversity Duty is being met across the Council, the Sustainable Development Coordination Group has been tasked with taking forward the development, implementation and monitoring of our Biodiversity Duty. Representatives from each of the Council’s Resources sit on this group and are able to act as coordinators for the implementation of our Biodiversity Duty through the delivery of action plans. 1.4 The Council has produced a Biodiversity Duty Implementation Plan (2018-22). The Biodiversity Duty is also recognised in various Council Resource and Service Plans. Additionally, biodiversity is a fundamental part of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) process that assesses all policies, plans, programmes and strategies produced by the Council. 1.5 Services and Resources report through their own structures and committees. Additionally, biodiversity activity is reported within the Council and to the Community Planning Partnership through the Sustainable Development Partnership, as the following diagram shows. In South Lanarkshire, biodiversity expertise is located in the Countryside and Greenspace (CAG) Team, within Community and Enterprise Resources.

  • The State of South Lanarkshire's Environment 2019
    The State of South Lanarkshire’s environment 2019 Summary The quality of the environment in which we live is important for our health and wellbeing. South Lanarkshire has a very rich and diverse environment which gives the area its unique character. Such an environment requires careful management in order to maintain and improve the area. This is the sixth comprehensive biennial State of the Environment Report for South Lanarkshire. The aim of the report is to provide quality data that facilitates evaluation of a range of environmental issues, identifies trends and provides an overall picture of the condition or state of South Lanarkshire’s environment. The state of the environment across South Lanarkshire is in many aspects relatively good. However, there are certain environmental issues where there is potential for improvement. These include those that can affect human health and the natural and built environment. The health of South Lanarkshire’s people is relatively poor and below the Scottish average for some key indicators. This is particularly evident within communities identified as economically, socially and environmentally deprived. However, the difference between South Lanarkshire and the national average continues to narrow. There is well documented evidence that environmental deprivation is related to health and health behaviour. Access to good quality greenspace and the wider countryside are important in promoting healthy lifestyles. The provision of greenspace and access to the core path network varies considerably across South Lanarkshire but is generally improving. Air quality within South Lanarkshire is considered relatively good, however, there are specific ‘hotspot’ areas closely associated with heavily congested roads where levels are poor.

  • South Lanarkshire Food Growing Strategy
    South Lanarkshire Food Grow- Fooding Strategy Growing Strategy Contents Foreword Introduction Overall aim The benefits of food growing and allotments National policy Food growing legislation The Council Plan South Lanarkshire Council provision The local area Current food growing provision Developing food growing in South Lanarkshire Community Support Charges Food poverty Disabled access Developing best practice Potential food growing land Sustainability Biodiversity and the environment Challenges Strategic Key objectives Monitoring and review Key indicators Links Appendix 1 – Additional South Lanarkshire Council provision Appendix 2 – Other food growing initiatives Appendix 3 – Food growing group Foreword The food growing strategy covers much more than just growing healthy fruit and vegetables. Allotments and community growing sites are recognised as a valuable resource for individuals and communities and provide many additional benefits such as increasing physical exercise and social interaction; improving mental health and wellbeing; sustaining wildlife; contributing immensely to local biodiversity and climate change; building self-esteem and creating new opportunities for learning and development. With the increasing interest in sustainability, environmental issues and the increased focus on eating locally sourced and organic food, food growing has undergone a national revival in recent years, with demand increasing dramatically throughout the United Kingdom. In addition, there is interest from local groups, schools and individuals who are looking for advice and assistance from the Council on a wide range of food growing matters. We would like residents of South Lanarkshire to have the opportunity to grow their own healthy food, regardless of where they live or their personal circumstances. To this end, the Council has consulted with a range of people in the development of the food growing strategy which links into the Council’s overarching good food strategy and our commitment to being a good food Council.
