Communities Together Hi All, I hope you are staying safe. I am writing to introduce you to Communities Together. Communities Together is an initiative created as a response to the needs of the Bellshill, Mossend and Thorniewood Areas (we will do surrounding areas) in North Lanarkshire against the backdrop of Coronavirus. We are an umbrella group that pulls together the community response to COVID—19 to make sure we have all areas covered and supported where we can. We hope that we can identify people who may need support now, and may be vulnerable for many reasons, and get help to them. Communities Together will launch on Monday 27th April 2020 at 8AM and will operate out of the Bellshill YMCA (294 Main Street, Bellshill, ML4 1AB). Operating via a helpline 01698 74 74 83 or via email [email protected] -our friendly team will be on hand to prepare food parcels and other essentials for delivery to vulnerable people in the Bellshill, Mossend and Thorniewood communities during this difficult time. The Group will also support the collection and delivery of key items including prescriptions to vulnerable people and can facilitate the collection of shopping for those who require a shopper to get out and do this for them. We will also signpost and give information via the helpline where people can be linked in to Befriending for a telephone call and given information on other services, through adding information packs to the deliveries. We are also aware that although people need help now, we also need to prepare for after lock down, so with your help we can make sure all areas of our community are strong and supported - now and into the future. The Communities Together initiative involves a number of community councils, the local community forum, community groups, NHS, North Lanarkshire Council Employees and Elected Members, and individuals who live in Bellshill, Mossend, Thorniewood and surrounding communities. At this time we are welcoming Volunteers - who can register their interest via this link: https://forms.gle/Sa8QSphLLKqpRQX49 - we will be hosting a Volunteer Information and Orientation Session on Thursday 23rd April 2020, this week at 12 Noon in the YMCA Bellshill. If you wish to volunteer then please do register your interest. In addition, we would be delighted if anyone wished to make donations of essential items such as tins, other non-perishables, baby products, gluten or allergen free produce etc. These can be notified via email and arrangements made for delivery or collection. Kind Regards Claire McElroy Health Improvement Senior (Bellshill Locality) .

Through the Community Solutions Strategy, “Softening the Lines”, - the CVS’s contribution is co-ordinated, robustly monitored and works to the regional logic model based on a series of programme outcomes. The Community Solutions work is based on co-production (which includes co- commissioning at a community level); giving people choice and control and building compassionate communities through connections and capacity building of local supports. Using eleven project hosts to guide best practice (e.g. in physical activity; healthy eating; anticipatory planning; transport etc) and 6 locality host organisations to ensure a truly community led approach, a devolved budget of £1.14 million from HSCNL together with a number of additional funds totaling £1,390,000 is directly invested in organisations and community groups (budget for 19/20 attached as Appendix 1) with countless others receiving support from other means such as capacity building, training and organizational and volunteer support. Investment ranges from micro-investment (£300-£5000) and matched funds, to strategic investment in projects of up to £75,000.

  • POLICY and RESOURCES Subject: SIXTH REVIEW of UNITED COMMITTEE KINGDOM PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES - REVISED PROPOSALS From: HEAD of CENTRAL SERVICES
    NORTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL To: POLICY AND RESOURCES Subject: SIXTH REVIEW OF UNITED COMMITTEE KINGDOM PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES - REVISED PROPOSALS From: HEAD OF CENTRAL SERVICES Date: 13 September 2012 Ref: JAFAL 1. Purpose of Report 1.1 On Thursday, 13 September 2012 the Boundary Commission for Scotland published its revised proposals for United Kingdom Parliamentary Constituencies for an eight week final public consultation period. This report advises the Committee of those revised proposals and makes recommendations on action in response to the final consultation. 2. Background 2.1 At its meeting on 1 December 201 1, the Committee noted the statutory requirement for a review of United Kingdom Parliamentary Constituencies, the initial proposals formulated by the Boundary Commission for Scotland and the consultation arrangements. The Committee then agreed to appoint a Working Group to give consideration to the initial proposals and, at its meeting on 15 December 2011, the Council noted the recommendations of the Working Group and approved, for submission, a consultation response. 2.2 At its meeting on 1 December 2011 the Committee noted also that, following the initial twelve week consultation period, the Boundary Commission for Scotland would publish on its website the representations received and the record of the public hearings and would invite written comments during a further period of four weeks.

  • Site Area of 1.71 Hectares (4.23 Acres)
    FOR SALE - POTENTIAL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT REEMA ROAD UNTHANK ROAD BAIRDSLAND VIEW DEVELOPMENT LAND Potential Residential Development Opportunity • Site area of 1.71 hectares (4.23 acres). • Accessed from both Unthank Road and Reema Road. SITE A • Within popular Lanarkshire town. • 2 minutes from Bellshill town centre. REEMA ROAD • BELLSHILL • ML4 1DX • Offers over £750,000 are invited. LOCATION The site forms the outer edge of what was previously known as the Mossend Works and is bounded by established residential development to the south and on the other 2 sides by Reema Road and Bairsland View. Bellshill is approximately 12 miles west of Glasgow City Centre in the heart of Lanarkshire. Bellshill is strong commuter location for Glasgow with easy access to both the M8 motorway to Glasgow and Edinburgh as well as the M73 going south. DESCRIPTION The site boundaries are shown on the enclosed plans and whilst previously access is being taken via Unthank Road. It is now more likely that in the event of development of the site that access will be taken directly from Reema Road. Although substantial vegetation is evident on the site at present, although part of the ownership of what was the Mossend Works, there is no history of any manufacturing for industrial uses on this section of the site. A Ground Investigation Report was recently produced and is available to seriously interested parties. PLANNING Submissions have already been made to the Local Authority in respect of the next Local Development Plan. It is anticipated that discussions will be entertained by the Local Authority in respect the development of this site for new residential development, most likely ‘social housing’ as the site has been identified as a regeneration priority.
