Recommendations: The Committee is asked to consider the findings of this report. Ward No(s): 9, 19 Citywide: Local member(s) advised: Yes No consulted: Yes No - 9 - 1.0 Background 1.1 The Parkhead Cross THI operated from 2005-2011. During this period it provided grant funding of approximately £3.5million to heritage led regeneration projects including repairs to landmark buildings, the reinstatement of historic shopfronts and a package of public realm works. 1.2 Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) approved a second investment programme in April 2011 with a grant award of £1,710,300. An additional £1,000,000 was subsequently secured from Historic Scotland’s (HS) Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (CARS). On 9 June 2011, the Executive Committee approved the second phase of the Parkhead Cross THI and authorised expenditure of £1,400,000 for delivery over the period 2012-2018 bringing a total “Common Fund”, for the second phase of the THI to £4,110,300 as outlined below: HLF £1,710,300 41.6% GCC £1,400,000 34.1% Historic Scotland £1,000,000 24.3% Total £4,110,300 100.0% 2.0 THI Programme 2.1 The Council administers the Common Fund on behalf of the external funders. The Council is obliged to deliver investment priorities identified within the approved THI Programme. The objectives of the THI are: 1. Promoting a Sense of Place; 2. Restoring Townscape; 3. Reinstating Historic Street Pattern; 4. Increasing Vibrancy. 2.2 The investment priorities for the THI programme were developed in the context of a number of key documents including the Parkhead Cross Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan (2003) and Parkhead Town Centre Retail Studies (2010). A breakdown of the current spend profile as agreed with the funders is shown below: - 10 - GCC HLF HS Investment Priority THI Grant Contribution Contribution Contribution Parkhead Public School £1,700,000 £784,580 £915,420 £0 Eastern Necropolis Gatelodge £248,867 £71,574 £103,529 £73,764 1361 Duke Street £480,668 £58,814 £71,854 £350,000 St Michael’s RC Church £261,425 £75,174 £108,753 £77,498 Former Clydesdale Bank £310,913 £37,444 £57,372 £216,097 Shopfront Improvements £408,387 £117,089 £170,425 £120,873 Public Realm £267,692 £85,289 £103,059 £79,344 Complementary Initiatives £120,027 £34,520 £49,931 £35,576 Administration inc. Staff Costs £312,321 £135,516 £129,957 £46,848 Total Common Fund £4,110,300 £1,400,000 £1,710,300 £1,000,000 3.0 Progress to Date 3.1 HLF granted the Council “Permission to Start” the delivery phase of the THI in February 2013. The original programme had a completion date of June 2017 under the HLF grant funding award and March 2018 under the HS grant funding. The HLF completion date has now been extended to December 2017 to align the two funders more closely and allow for full spend of the common fund. 3.2 Shopfront Improvement Programme: A programme of improvements to historic shopfronts was completed in 2016 with 9 shopfronts benefitting from investment. The THI has now delivered reinstatement of 34 historic shopfronts since the inception of Phase 1 in 2005. Parkhead Public School: The restoration of this landmark category B Listed Building was identified as the main priority for the second phase of the THI. The Council has worked in partnership with Glasgow Building Preservation Trust (GBPT) and Parkhead Housing Association (PHA) in order to progress matters. GBPT is currently overseeing the comprehensive restoration of the property including repairs to the historic fabric. The interior of the building will be re-fitted as a local enterprise centre housing approximately 15,000 square feet of office space. The contractor CBC Limited commenced on-site in July 2016. Site clearance, excavation and drainage works have taken place, scaffolding has been erected and roof works are underway. Completion is scheduled for October 2017. Following completion of the works GBPT will transfer ownership of the building to PHA who will manage the facility as part of their wider role in local regeneration. The project is being match funded with £1,800,000 from the Scottish Government’s Regeneration Capital Grant Fund (RCGF). Historic Environment Scotland has now agreed to fund this project through its Building Repair Grant Scheme. This means that an additional £500K is available for investment in the following projects: 1361 Duke Street: Grant contracts are currently being finalised with the owners of this prominent tenement building situated at Parkhead Cross. - 11 - Fabric repairs to the category B listed building will include slated roof works, lead work, structural repair of chimneys and tower and repair of cast iron rainwater goods. Works are expected to start on site in early 2017 and will take up to six months to complete. Former Clydesdale Bank (1435 Gallowgate/1358 Duke Street): The repair of this landmark category B listed property has been a long-standing priority for the THI but issues including multiple ownership have frustrated delivery.

  • Byres Road: Design Workshop (21 March 2019)
    Byres Road: Design Workshop (21 March 2019) Participants were divided into Groups 1-6 with an attempt made to ensure that all groups included representatives from the diverse range of stakeholders in attendance. The facilitator provided a presentation on important features of the proposed concept design. Groups were invited to discuss key issues and consider whether the design features were supported or opposed. The commentary below aims to capture the main points of discussion and strength of support or opposition to particular aspects of the proposal. The nature of discussion meant that it was not always possible for groups to reach agreement- where consensus was not possible the position shared by the majority of group members has been used to identify levels of support or opposition to each design feature. 1. Re-allocation of road space Current Situation At present Byres Road is dominated by vehicular traffic- 60% of available space is occupied by carriageway despite the fact that only a third of shoppers travel to the street by car. Design Proposal The concept design proposes the narrowing of the carriageway on Byres Road to 6.0m in order to create additional pedestrian and cycling space. Proposals to narrow the carriageway will be accompanied by a range of measures to reduce the volume and speed of traffic. The proposals result in an overall reduction of road space by approximately 30%, an increase in pedestrian space by 20% and the introduction of protected cycle space. Feedback Groups were asked their views on 4 specific elements of the proposal. Design Feature Strongly Support Neither Oppose Strongly Support Support Oppose nor Oppose 1.
