  • Local Resident Impact; Traffic Assessment Is Insufficient
    Address redacted Glasgow City Council / Glasgow Life PO Box 15175, Glasgow, G4 9LP Saturday, 4th July 2020 Dear Sir or Madam, Re. Planning application 20/01352/FUL I am writing to record my objection to the proposal, in its current form, for the Active Travel ​ ​ Management Plan in Pollok Country Park. Whilst I support - in principle - the stated objectives and many of the elements of the project to reduce the presence of cars within the centre of Pollok Country Park, and to prioritise active travel. Its core proposal to remove traffic from the core of the park is excellent. However it has significant shortcomings in the high-level response to the challenge in the project ​ ​ framing. It is missing key detail with regards its impact on local residents and active travel users in the immediate vicinity. The traffic analysis in particular takes an insufficiently wide scope, and does not explore relevant options or considerations. The plan therefore requires detailed reconsideration, with additional mitigations or rework, and ​ ​ ​ also to take into account Coronavirus mitigations currently being put in place in the affected vicinity (Haggs Road), references below. Local resident impact; Traffic assessment is insufficient The Shawmoss/Haggs junction is poorly considered, with inadequate modelling of the wider ​ contexts: ​ ● The proposed no-right turn into Shawmoss Road (7.2.14, “Right from Haggs Road south to Shawmoss Road”, see also figure 7.3) significantly disregards the needs and impacts on ​ residents in the Shawmoss, Herries Road, Crossmyloof vicinity. ● It risks causing car traffic to ignore road instructions; or to bypass the junction and cut against the current one-way in Herries Road; substantially increase traffic on minor road ​ Whins Road; or an extensive diversion via St Andrews Drive+Herries Road, or via ​ Crossmyloof.

  • Addressing Scotland's Drugs Crisis
    Addressing Scotland’s Drugs Crisis Last year in Scotland, 1,187 people tragically lost their lives to drug-related deaths - the largest number ever recorded and more than double the total in 2008. Scotland’s drug death rate per head of population is now nearly three times that of the UK as a whole, and is higher than that reported for any other EU country. Alongside the increase in drug related deaths, since 2015 we have witnessed the largest outbreak of HIV in the UK since the 1980s, affecting a population of people who inject in Glasgow city centre. Since the outbreak began, there have been 157 new HIV diagnoses among this population, a significant increase on pre-outbreak levels. People who use drugs are a vulnerable group, and the single biggest driver of drug use is poverty and deprivation1. The majority of policy areas for Scotland’s drug-related harm response are devolved to the Scottish Parliament, and debate continues about how best to achieve the objectives outlined in the Scottish Government’s drugs strategy, Rights, Respect and Recovery. Much of this work will also be a focus for the forthcoming update to Scotland’s Sexual Health and Blood Borne Virus Framework, particularly in relation to reducing new HIV and hepatitis C infections. However, drugs policy set by the UK Government continues to have a significant impact on Scotland’s response. In the build up to the forthcoming UK General Election, we are therefore calling on Prospective Parliamentary Candidates for Scottish constituencies to commit to urgent action to reduce both drug-related deaths, and HIV and hepatitis C transmission in Scotland.

A Park Management Plan is required to make an application for the Green Flag Award® scheme. The Green Flag Award® scheme is the benchmark national standard for parks and green spaces in Scotland, England and Wales. It was first launched in 1996 to recognise and reward the best green spaces in the country. The Management Plans were available online through the Council’s website (www.glasgow.gov.uk) and within the local area of each of the parks involved.
