  • May 2016 Suzanne Burgess
    May 2016 Suzanne Burgess Saving the small things that run the planet Summary The John Muir Way, opened in 2014, stretches 134 miles through nine local authority areas, including East Dunbartonshire. This B-lines project, the first in Scotland, has identified new opportunities for grassland habitat creation, enhancement and management along the route of the John Muir Way as it passes through East Dunbartonshire as well as 1.86 miles either side of this. Through this mapping exercise a number of sites have been identified including 25 schools and nurseries; 5 care homes; 21 places of worship and cemeteries; 2 historic landmarks and buildings; and 1 train station. Additionally, 4 golf courses (141.2 ha), 44 public parks and play spaces (116.88 ha) and one country park (251.74 ha) were identified and mapped. There are a number of sites within this project that have nature conservation designations, including 45 Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (2,999.3 ha), 2 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (36.57 ha) and 2 Local Nature Reserves (60.97 ha). A further 5 sites have previously been identified as having an Open Mosaic of Habitat on Previously Developed Land and cover a total area of 13.71 ha. By mapping new opportunities this will aid in the future development of projects that will provide real benefits to our declining populations of pollinating insects of bees, wasps, hoverflies and butterflies as well as other wildlife that these habitats support. 1 Contents Page Page Number 1.

  • Community Council Traffic Lights Proposal
    MILTON OF CAMPSIE COMMUNITY COUNCIL TRAFFIC LIGHTS CONTROLLED JUNCTION BIRDSTON ROAD / ANTERMONY ROAD / CAMPSIE ROAD PROPOSAL DOCUMENT INTRODUCTION During the early part of 2021, Milton of Campsie Community Council instigated a ‘Community Survey’ with the sole purpose of identifying the priority concerns of local Community residents. The overwhelming result of this survey identified road safety as the main subject of anxiety. The speed and volume of vehicles travelling through the junction of Birdston Road / Campsie Road / Antermony Road (locally known as “the Cross”) was one of the specific points raised. It is worthy of note, that over the preceding 30 years there has been a remarkable increase in the volume of residential properties located within the village. This has had a consequential increase in the traffic flow through the village, which has primarily impacted upon the traffic congestion at “the Cross”. The Community Council has conducted a detailed review of this problem area and consider it prudent from a Safety Perspective to highlight this area to East Dunbartonshire Council with a view to progressing this PROPOSAL DOCUMENT as a matter of urgency before a ‘Serious Incident’ occurs at this location. FACTORS IN SUPPORT OF PROPOSAL The following points are provided in support of either a “two-way” or “three-way” traffic light controlled junction at “the Cross”, in Milton of Campsie. (i) At present there is only one traffic light controlled ‘crossing point’ within the village. This is located on Campsie Road approximately 18 metres before the junction with Birdston Road. During school term this crossing point is also resourced by a School Crossing Patrol Person; (ii) There is ONE public car park within the village, which is heavily utilised by residents attending one of the nine business premises; the local school; the local nursery; local village activities within the village hall and for the purpose of exercise in the surrounding countryside and local park/s.

  • East Dunbartonshire Background Information
    East Dunbartonshire background information East Dunbartonshire is found to the north of the City of Glasgow and is bounded by the Campsie Fells and the Kilpatrick Hills to the west. It covers an area of 66.3 square miles, three-quarters of which is agricultural land. The population of East Dunbartonshire currently stands at around 110,000. The local authority area contains a number of key towns such as Bearsden, Milngavie, Bishopbriggs, Kirkintilloch and Lenzie along with the villages Twechar, Milton of Campsie, Lennoxtown, Torrance and Balmore. The natural landscape of East Dunbartonshire is composed of a rich mix of upland, peatland, wetland, and grassland areas with a modest number of woodland sites. Rolling farmlands are found around Bishopbriggs and extend eastwards, south and east of Kirkintilloch to Twechar, while lowland areas run through the valleys of the Glazert, Lower Allander and Kelvin. Rugged moorland hills are represented by the distinctive Campsie Fells and Kilpatrick Hills with the former designated in 1981 and then again in 1995 as an area of Regional Scenic Importance. A substantial amount of land in East Dunbartonshire is represented by large swathes of open agricultural areas, used primarily for grazing livestock and cereal production. Although such sites can often be heavily managed there are ample opportunities for landowners and managers to improve biodiversity on their land through habitat enhancement projects along field boundaries (such as hedgerow management, woodland shelter belts, watercourse development and planting of buffer strips for wildlife). Watercourses The area is well known for its series of lochs, marshes and floodplain areas that are often associated with the main watercourses running through the area, namely the Rivers Kelvin and Allander, Glazert Water, Luggie Water, Bothlin Burn, Pow Burn and the Forth & Clyde Canal.

Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities College of Arts University of Glasgow © Peter Drummond February 2014 2 Abstract This thesis examines a small but unfashionable area of Scotland, invisible to tourist guidebooks, heavily urbanised, and whose towns have won environmental ‘Carbuncle awards’ from the Scottish media. Yet it is deep in Gaelic and Scots place-names which reveal a landscape that past inhabitants perceived to be a green and relatively pleasant land, if perhaps not flowing with milk and honey. Part Three belies its numeration, in that it is the core of the study, examining in detail the place-names of eight (modern) parishes, listing old forms and attempting a sound etymology for each.

  • Milton of Campsie Road Safety Report
    2021 ROAD SAFETY REPORT AB & BM MILTON of CAMPSIE COMMUNITY COUNCIL 6/7/2021 Milton of Campsie Community Council Community Survey Road Safety Proposals In an effort engage with the community within Milton of Campsie and better support engagement with the Local Council Departments, the Community Council has obtained a list of priority concerns from a large section of the local community. It is hoped that by doing so: (i) This will provide East Dunbartonshire Council (EDC) with a better understanding of local concerns and issues. (ii) It will enable EDC to prioritise work in line with local issues. (iii) EDC will be able to direct operations towards dealing with the village issues and ultimately enable a cost-efficient approach to dealing with the issues. Milton of Campsie is served by three main routes: From the East, it is Antermony Road A891, this route carries traffic from Queenzieburn and Kilsyth. From the West, it is Campsie Road also designated A891, this route carries traffic from Lennoxtown and Strathblane. From the South, it is Birdston Road designated as B757 it carries traffic from Kirkintilloch and Glasgow. A891 Antermony Road approaching and entering the Village. Antermony Road is in a reasonably good state of repair and is governed for the best part by the National Speed limit (60mph) until you are approximately 200 metres from the edge of Milton of Campsie Village where it becomes a 40-mph zone and then at the limit of Milton of Campsie it becomes a 30-mph zone. The approach to the reduced speed zone is a well- known fast stretch of road and as it changes to the 40 mph zone the road drops then has a left then right blind bend as you access the 30 zone.
