We have made our members and supporters aware of the consultation and we understand that a significant number of them have responded to the on-line survey. However, many of the questions there are not applicable to an active travel campaign group such as GoBike and thus we offer the following comments: It is important that the High Street and Saltmarket are revitalised and shops, cafes and businesses are attracted to the area but the street environment must be radically improved to encourage people to walk and cycle along the street and spend time there. Currently the street is a four-lane highway with cars, vans, buses travelling through. So what must be done? The pavements must be widened and their surface improved, with unnecessary street furniture removed, to encourage people to walk and window shop, perhaps even sit outside a cafe. Cycle lanes must be introduced; people already cycle along the street, dodging the parked vehicles and those that are speeding and their journeys will be made less hazardous by the provision of cycle lanes.

Although the histories of the LGBTQ+ community are often ignored or not recorded in traditional ways, we can find traces of their lives and experiences. From the court records of male sex workers in the Broomielaw to listings and adverts for club nights in the 2000s, and from memories of the saunas and club scenes of the 1980s to the direct action and activism of LGBTQ+ groups like the Lesbian Avengers.

  • Glasgow To-Day
    GLASGOW TO-DAY. By WILLIAM POWER. ONE of the familiar "ploys" of educational psychology is to give out a word and get the scholars to write down what it immediately suggests. " " Employing the word Glasgow in this way in the smoke-room of an English hotel, one would get something like the following "reactions": "A " God-forsaken hole; a bigger and worse Leeds." A great city: handsome buildings, kindly people, good business." "Drizzle and smoke; big black tene- " ments bare feet drunk men and women." ; Ship- yards and steelworks; fine shops, splendid car " service." Sunday in Glasgow's the nearest thing to hell I can imagine." "City Chambers picture gallery old cathedral all first-rate, but slums un- " speakable." Go-ahead place, lots of money and " not afraid to spend it." How any one can live " there I can't conceive." Suppose it's because it's so easy to get to places like the Trossachs and the Kyles of Bute." "Edinburgh." "Ah! that's a " contrast." "Beauty and the beast eh? One thing at least can be deduced with fair certainty from these curiously diverse impressions. The favourable ones were those of people who had stayed with friends and been taken about; the un- 77 favourable, of people who had been stranded in hotels. Glasgow does not cater well for strangers. To arrive in Glasgow on a wet Saturday by way of Cowlairs or St. Rollox, and spend a lonely week-end in a hotel, is an experience which the native cannot contemplate without a shudder. It would have been more tolerable fifty years ago, when the city was about half its present size and there were charming rural nooks within half an hour's walk from George Square.

  • 315 Eleanor Mcdowell Four Hundred Years Have Elapsed
    Book Reviews 315 Eleanor McDowell John Ogilvie: A Jesuit in Disguise (1579–1615). London: Catholic Truth Society, 2015, Pp. 64. Pb, £2.50. Four hundred years have elapsed since the Jesuit John Ogilvie was hanged at Glasgow Cross in Glasgow. As Scotland’s only post-Reformation saint and martyr, the country’s Catholic and scholarly communities held a number of commemorative events to mark the quatercentenary of Ogilvie’s martyrdom, including a well-attended conference entitled “John Ogilvie and the Jesuit Legacy and Scotland,” shortly to be published as an edited collection, a special Mass in St Andrew’s Cathedral in Glasgow attended by the papal envoy Car- dinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, and a special concert at which music by the renowned composer James McMillan was performed. The small booklet under review formed part of these commemorations. Published as it is by the Catholic Truth Society, whose aim is to “nurture” and “support” the “Christian life,” John Ogilvie: A Jesuit in Disguise (1579–1615) is sympathetic to its subject and intended more as an aid to faith than as a schol- arly, critical and impartial biography of Ogilvie. In this sense, the booklet may well be considered a success for it does provide an accessible and largely popu- lar account of Ogilvie’s life and times. By the same logic, it would be rather unfair to the booklet’s author to review it without keeping in mind the spirit in, and the reason for, which it was written. Divided into ten short chapters, the author moves chronologically from the Scottish Reformation through to Ogilvie’s canonization in 1976 by Pope Paul vi.

From global media audiences to those physically present at screenings: it is people who make film festivals (Dayan 2000). Nevertheless, Film Festival Studies, with its preoccupation with global economics and/or the political nature of these events, has arguably omitted the ‘audience voice’ meaning much of the empirical work on offer derives from market research by festivals themselves. As such, there is little conceptual contribution about what makes festivals culturally important to audiences or the ways in which festival practice differs from, or synergises with, broader cinematic practice.

  • Part 1 Appraisal Summary Table
    Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 3 Generation, Sifting and Appraisal of Interventions Annex 3 Detailed Appraisal E3 – Construction of Glasgow Crossrail Estimated total Public Sector Funding Requirement: Capital Costs/grant £100m – £250m Annual Revenue Support Present – Value of Cost to Gvt £50m – £100m BCR/PVB 0.75 – 1.25 - - - - - - 0 + ++ +++ Environment Summary Impact on STAG Safety Criteria Economy Integration Accessibility and Social Inclusion (Judgement based on available information against a 7pt. scale.) Intervention Description: This intervention supports the objectives to address rail capacity issues in central Glasgow and increase public transport access to areas of economic activity. Glasgow Crossrail consists of a range of infrastructure measures that could be implemented in phases over time. For the purposes of this assessment, the intervention consists of the reopening of the Glasgow City Union Line over the Clyde to passenger trains, with two new spurs: • The Strathbungo Link from Muirhouse to the City Union Line allowing trains from East Kilbride and Kilmarnock to access the City Union Line; and • The High Street curve from the City Union Line to the North Electric Line heading west at High Street. Additional services would be provided, such as Ayr to Edinburgh and Croy to Barrhead, with a new turnback facility at Croy. Some services that currently operate into Central High Level would be diverted to Charing Cross via Queen Street Low Level, such as East Kilbride services, with a new turnback facility at Kelvinhaugh. Summary: Rationale for Not Recommending On balance, as a ‘stand alone’ intervention, Glasgow Crossrail performs reasonably well, however, it does not make best use of the rail network or integrate well with the menu of schemes required to satisfy the objectives of the STPR.
