This will succeed the current Local Development Plan, which requires to be replaced by February 2022. A 10-week public consultation and engagement exercise was carried out across the area. The main objectives of this process were to: Support and encourage members of the public and other stakeholders to participate in the LDP process Identify information on key planning needs and demands, changes and new issues arising since the last LDP Identify views on emerging planning issues in the local area Identify potential site suggestions for development, particularly from communities, landowners and developers The outcomes of this consultation will be used to inform the content of a ‘Main Issues Report’, which will set out various planning policy options for future development across East Dunbartonshire.

  • The Antonine Wall, the Roman Frontier in Scotland, Was the Most and Northerly Frontier of the Roman Empire for a Generation from AD 142
    Breeze The Antonine Wall, the Roman frontier in Scotland, was the most and northerly frontier of the Roman Empire for a generation from AD 142. Hanson It is a World Heritage Site and Scotland’s largest ancient monument. The Antonine Wall Today, it cuts across the densely populated central belt between Forth (eds) and Clyde. In The Antonine Wall: Papers in Honour of Professor Lawrence Keppie, Papers in honour of nearly 40 archaeologists, historians and heritage managers present their researches on the Antonine Wall in recognition of the work Professor Lawrence Keppie of Lawrence Keppie, formerly Professor of Roman History and Wall Antonine The Archaeology at the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow University, who spent edited by much of his academic career recording and studying the Wall. The 32 papers cover a wide variety of aspects, embracing the environmental and prehistoric background to the Wall, its structure, planning and David J. Breeze and William S. Hanson construction, military deployment on its line, associated artefacts and inscriptions, the logistics of its supply, as well as new insights into the study of its history. Due attention is paid to the people of the Wall, not just the ofcers and soldiers, but their womenfolk and children. Important aspects of the book are new developments in the recording, interpretation and presentation of the Antonine Wall to today’s visitors. Considerable use is also made of modern scientifc techniques, from pollen, soil and spectrographic analysis to geophysical survey and airborne laser scanning. In short, the papers embody present- day cutting edge research on, and summarise the most up-to-date understanding of, Rome’s shortest-lived frontier.

This will make journeys safer and easier, improve business connectivity, support development and town centre improvements and make it easier for visitors to enjoy Renfrewshire attractions. 1.2 The approach during 2019/20 will continue the progressive improvement of roads assets and fits with the asset management approach of seeking to reduce reactive revenue expenditure through prudent life cycle investment. 1.3 The focus for 2019/20 includes schemes within the strategic road network as well as roads of local significance with a presence in every town and village across Renfrewshire. A sustained effort will continue to ensure the highest quality of product will be used and contractors’ standards will be robustly monitored throughout the year. 1.4 There are a number of strategic roads where works are planned and as such, detailed communication plans will be developed for each of these to ensure stakeholder engagement is maintained going forward.

  • Cadder Newsletter November 2020
    Cadder Newsletter November 2020 Dear Friends, There is a lovely story of a wee boy kneeling to pray at his bedside with his mum beside him and he turned and said to her, “Mummy, I would like a Jesus with a face, so I can talk to him and see him and hear him if he talks to me.” Jamie`s mother smiled as she remembered something her minister had said the previous Sunday in church, when she had her baby baptised. You will be the only Jesus, the only God, that this little one will know for many a day. Suddenly, she now realised how important her wee boy`s statement was. To be the image of Jesus to a child is a great privilege and responsibility. To stand in the place of Christ, in the eyes of one, who will form his opinion of Christ, by the image that you and I profess to be. But that’s the same for adults also. The Apostle Paul said, that we are ambassadors for Jesus Christ. It`s quite a challenge, that wherever we go, we are witnessing to his love and goodness, and when people see us, perhaps they may even catch a glimpse of the face of Jesus. This is the face of Jesus in a window at Cadder Church – beautiful isn`t it! and the face of Jesus is a kind face. May the Lord bless you today and always, Every blessing, John Church Services - There is a booking system in place, the number is 07312 358 221 and you can phone this on a Tuesday or Wednesday evenings from 6.30pm – 8.30pm and the call will be answered by either Margaret Redpath or Margaret Neely.

  • History of Bearsden North Church
    A Little History of Bearsden North Church (photograph courtesy of East Dunbartonshire Council) This is Bearsden Free Church as it was in 1899 and is a fine old sandstone building with red-tiled roof which dominates Bearsden Cross. It is built on the line of the historic Antonine Wall, which marks the limit of Roman ambitions in Great Britain. The scene is much the same today. The house behind the church is still there and became part of the church building, to which it became joined by a corridor in 1981. The cart marks Meldrum's Stables, which has been replaced by shops and is currently an estate agent's office. The photograph is dated officially as 1900, but it seems likely that it was taken on the same day in 1899 as the view from where the small boy in the kilt is standing of Bearsden Cross and Old School. Certainly the cart in Meldrum's Stables seems not to have moved between the exposures. The Old School House was the place of worship of our founder members between 1886 and 1889. The picture was taken ten years after the present North Church had been completed. The camera is looking eastwards from Thorn Road, outside the North Church, across Bearsden Cross to Roman Road, so called because it follows the line of the Antonine Wall. The Old School House is behind the group with the bicycle, and the tree beside them marks the spot now occupied by the War Memorial. The cart on the other side of Roman Road is in the premises of Meldrum's Stables, long since replaced by a terrace of shops.
