Integrated Grant Fund – Area Partnership allocations for 2018/19 approved. 2 With reference to the minutes of 31st May 2018 (page 143 hereof) agreeing to continue consideration to the next meeting of this committee of the proposed allocation of £1.6m of Integrated Grant Fund to Area Partnerships for 2018/19, Bailie Robertson, Depute City Convener for Empowering Communities, presented a report regarding the matter, advising that (1) the 2018/19 budget process for Area Partnerships had adopted a revised allocation methodology reflecting a 75% deprivation and 25% population basis, resulting in 12 wards gaining and 11 wards potentially losing funding and as a consequence of this change, additional funding of £238,000 had been added to the overall Area Partnership Budget to ensure that no ward suffered any loss, resulting in 12 wards benefitting directly from the revised allocation methodology reflecting relative deprivation; and Glasgow City Council, City Chambers, Glasgow G2 1DU (2) the revised methodology used was based on Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) 16, the Scottish Government’s official tool to identify those areas within Scotland suffering the effects of poverty and inequality and SIMD was a relative index which incorporated several different aspects of deprivation combined into a single index. After consideration, the committee approved the undernoted Integrated Grant Fund allocations to Area Partnerships for 2018/19. Area Partnership Base SIMD Total allocation allocation (as per 2017/18) Linn (Ward 1) £60,090 £10,284 £70,374 Newlands/Auldburn (Ward 2) £57,690 - £57,690 Greater Pollok (Ward 3) £60,853 £19,673 £80,526 Cardonald (Ward 4) £59,000 - £59,000 Govan (Ward 5) £59,862 £18,456 £78,318 Pollokshields (Ward 6) £57,795 - £57,795 Langside (Ward 7) £57,748 - £57,748 Southside Central (Ward 8) £59,328 £14,982 £74,310 Calton (Ward 9) £60,351 £24,691 £85,042 Anderston/City/Yorkhill (Ward 10) £58,029 - £58,029 Hillhead (Ward 11) £57,151 - £57,151 Victoria Park (Ward 12) £55,718 - £55,718 Garscadden/Scotstounhill (Ward 13) £60,654 £16,611 £77,265 Drumchapel/Anniesland (Ward 14) £60,213 £13,251 £73,464 Maryhill (Ward 15) £57,465 - £57,465 Canal (Ward 16) £60,210 £32,970 £93,180 Springburn/Robroyston (Ward 17) £60,454 £27,634 £88,088 East Centre (Ward 18) £61,275 £39,911 £101,186 Glasgow City Council, City Chambers, Glasgow G2 1DU Shettleston (Ward 19) £58,831 £ 3,102 £61,933 Baillieston (Ward 20) £56,845 - £56,845 North East (Ward 21) £58,283 £16,516 £74.799 Dennistoun (Ward 22) £57,119 - £57,119 Partick East/Kelvindale (Ward 23) £57,395 - £57,395 Total £1,352,359 £238,081 £1,590,440 Special Needs Playschemes Transport £40,000 City-wide Playschemes Allocation £32,627 Total £1,424,986 RUGGEDISED project – Acceptance of European Commission Horizon 2020 programme funding approved. 3 Councillor Richardson, City Convener for Sustainability and Carbon Reduction, presented a report regarding the award of funding from the European Commission Horizon 2020 programme, advising that (1) Glasgow was part of the project consortium RUGGEDISED (Rotterdam, Umea and Glasgow: Generating Exemplar Demonstrations in Sustainable Energy Districts), led by Rotterdam, which in April 2016 had submitted a bid to the European Commission Horizon 2020 programme for funding to develop innovative sustainable energy districts in each of the Lighthouse cities of Rotterdam, Umea and Glasgow and to have elements of those districts replicated in the follower cities of Parma, Gdansk and Brno; (2) RUGGEDISED in Glasgow would focus on the development of a smart street located in the city centre along a section of George Street and Duke Street and would seek to address the challenges Glasgow faced from ageing infrastructure, fuel poverty and air pollution by integrating planned regeneration and development with smart city capabilities and the project would be delivered in conjunction with Transport Scotland, the University of Strathclyde, the Wheatley Group, Siemens, Tenant’s Brewery and Scottish Power, with each partner receiving separate funding awards; and (3) a capital grant award of £940,000 had been offered to Land and Environmental Services for year 2 of the smart street project, which would focus on the installation of the infrastructure to deliver the project as part of the wider RUGGEDISED project and there was no requirement for further capital funding or for the Council to make a capital contribution or provide match funding. Glasgow City Council, City Chambers, Glasgow G2 1DU After consideration, the committee (a) noted the background of the RUGGEDISED project; and (b) agreed to accept £940,000 of funding from the Horizon 2020 programme to deliver the infrastructure elements of the smart street project, as detailed in the report. Low Emission Zone – Proposals approved, after division 4 With reference to the minutes of the Environment, Sustainability and Carbon Reduction City Policy Committee of 20th March 2018 (Print 6, page 587) noting progress towards introducing a Low Emission Zone (LEZ) in Glasgow city centre and recommending to this committee approval of proposals to extend the LEZ to all vehicle types by April 2021 at the latest and to implement a Road User Charging Scheme by 31st December 2020, Councillor Richardson, City Convener for Sustainability and Carbon Reduction, presented a report regarding the progress made to date, advising (1) of the actions taken to develop and implement the LEZ, including the consultation undertaken and the revision of the geographical area for Phase 1 to accommodate bus services that did not service the city centre and maintained access to key transport interchanges; (2) that it was proposed that Glasgow’s LEZ would commence on 31st December 2018 and thereafter would be introduced on phased basis over a 4-year period, with the target date for full implementation being 31st December 2022; (3) that phase 1 of the LEZ would address local service buses through Traffic Regulation Conditions set by the Traffic Commissioner, with all local service buses being expected to meet a Euro VI emission standard within 4 years of the LEZ being introduced and the subsequent phasing of the LEZ applying to all vehicle types unless exempted and Transport Scotland was currently identifying the agreed exemptions to LEZ compliance to ensure national consistency; (4) that implementation of phase 2 of the LEZ by April 2021 would present significant difficulties for businesses and residents throughout the city in terms of compliance, as many would need to revise their leasing and vehicle replacement arrangements to comply with the requirements of the LEZ and initial engagement with the business sector indicated that the date of December 2022 for all vehicles was viable and had the qualified support of the business sector; (5) that as April 2021 would also present technical challenges for the Council in establishing the necessary monitoring and enforcement infrastructure to manage the LEZ, as detailed in the report, it was proposed that the target for extension of the LEZ to all vehicle types be December 2022, which would be when Scotland’s first LEZ would be fully established, with this timescale Glasgow City Council, City Chambers, Glasgow G2 1DU comparing well with the time taken by other UK and EU cities to implement an LEZ; and (6) that it was proposed that road user charging in Glasgow be explored and that a report on the matter be submitted to committee within the next 9 months. After consideration, Councillor Richardson, seconded by Councillor Aitken, moved that the committee (a) note the progress being made towards introducing Scotland’s first Low Emission Zone in Glasgow city centre; (b) approve the proposal for the Low Emission Zone to be extended to all vehicle types by December 2022; and (c) instruct the Executive Director of Neighbourhoods and Sustainability to submit to this committee within the next 9 months, a report on road user charging. Councillor Molyneux, seconded by Bailie Mearns, moved as an amendment that the committee (i) note (A) the progress being made towards introducing Scotland’s first Low Emission Zone in Glasgow city centre; (B) that the phasing programme proposed for buses in the Council’s Traffic

  • South East Glasgow Community Health and Care Partnership Health Improvement Plan 2006/07 Draft
    SOUTH EAST GLASGOW COMMUNITY HEALTH AND CARE PARTNERSHIP HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN 2006/07 DRAFT DRAFT 1 FOREWORD Alan Stewart Chair, South East Community Health & Care Partnership (CHCP) This Plan sets out a programme for change and action to improve health and reduce the ‘inequalities gap’ of the people of South East Glasgow. Change in the way health and social care services are delivered and accessed and action that breaks the cycle of deprivation and helps build local communities where no one is held back by disadvantage. Delivering this agenda will require new ways of thinking to support and encourage people to take greater control for their own health and new ways of working that will win the support and commitment of our staff and the people we serve. Anticipating need, improving local access and shifting the balance of care from institutions with less reliance on hospital based and accommodated care to care closer to home will require greater collaboration and involvement from all partners. It is our intention to actively encourage service users, carers and the people of South East Glasgow to participate in local service planning, service modernisation and service delivery. We will also seek to secure involvement from all staff groups and key organisations. Targeting resources locally on the most vulnerable and those with greatest need to tackle lifestyle issues and those factors that are often considered outside the health domain will also be a key objective for us. These factors or determinants include: housing, education, employment status and living in a community where people feel safe from crime and anti social behaviour.

  • Dr Anne Mullen, Chair, Deep End Group Scotland
    SSC/S5/19/BTU/57 SOCIAL SECURTIY COMMITTEE BENEFIT TAKE-UP SUBMISSION FROM: DR ANNE MULLEN, CHAIR, DEEP END GROUP SCOTLAND DEEP END MONEY ADVICE PROJECT BACKGROUND For 2014/15, Glasgow Calton was judged to be the worst affected ward in the UK by welfare reform; an estimated £880 a year per working age adult was to be removed from the local economy, largely due to changes in incapacity benefits1. Since then, the four year benefit freeze has reduced the real-terms value of most working-age benefits, and the two- child limit has denied entitlement to thousands of families. THE PROJECT Since December 2015, the Deep End Money Advice Project has gradually embedded the delivery of money advice in 17 Deep End GP Practices in North East Glasgow. Deep End Practices serve the most socio-economically deprived populations in Scotland. The majority of the Practices in the Project are in the Glasgow Calton ward. GEMAP Scotland Ltd. Money Advisors are embedded in Practices in three GP clusters (Parkhead, Bridgeton and Dennistoun) for half a day per Practice per week. Advisors can access patient medical records (with consent) to assist completion of high quality benefit applications / reviews / appeals thus reducing the risk of vulnerable people spending unnecessary, and potentially stressful, time in the system. Typically, money issues raised by patients in GP Practices are more complex than in other settings2. GOVERNANCE The project is managed by the North East Health Improvement Team (Glasgow HSCP) and overseen by an Advisory Group which includes two GPs and representation from the Scottish Deep End Project, Clyde Gateway, Glasgow Centre for Population Health and GEMAP Scotland Ltd.

  • Development of a Community Asset on Glasgow's
    Development of a community asset on Glasgow’s southside An investigation commissioned by South Seeds August 2017 017 Contents Page Summary 2 Introduction 4 What does the community want? 5 Options for community 9 ownership Properties of potential interest on 14 the southside Funding 33 Next steps 35 Appendix 1 36 Appendix 2 37 1 Summary South Seeds would like to continue to build on its track record of delivering successful projects with community benefit well into the future. It sees the development of an asset, whether a building or area of land, as key to developing the financial independence and security that is needed for projects to thrive year on year with minimal reliance on external funding. Thanks to Awards for All funding, South Seeds has carried out a piece of extensive research to find out what the community would like to see vacant buildings and areas of land being used for and what actions would be required for South Seeds to take ownership of such a space Community engagement Empowering people to help shape their community’s future is crucial for gathering support for projects at an early stage which can then be used to build momentum later on in the project’s life and maximise its success. As part of this research a community engagement exercise was carried out to gather the views of a wide range of people who live in the area that South Seeds typically runs projects in (Govanhill, Crosshill, Queen’s Park, East Pollokshields and Strathbungo), on community ownership, vacant land and buildings and what activities or projects they think are needed.

  • Parishes and Congregations: Names No Longer in Use
    S E C T I O N 9 A Parishes and Congregations: names no longer in use The following list updates and corrects the ‘Index of Discontinued Parish and Congregational Names’ in the previous online section of the Year Book. As before, it lists the parishes of the Church of Scotland and the congregations of the United Presbyterian Church (and its constituent denominations), the Free Church (1843–1900) and the United Free Church (1900–29) whose names have completely disappeared, largely as a consequence of union. This list is not intended to be ‘a comprehensive guide to readjustment in the Church of Scotland’. Its purpose is to assist those who are trying to identify the present-day successor of a former parish or congregation whose name is now wholly out of use and which can therefore no longer be easily traced. Where the former name has not disappeared completely, and the whereabouts of the former parish or congregation may therefore be easily established by reference to the name of some existing parish, the former name has not been included in this list. Present-day names, in the right-hand column of this list, may be found in the ‘Index of Parishes and Places’ near the end of the book. The following examples will illustrate some of the criteria used to determine whether a name should be included or not: • Where all the former congregations in a town have been united into one, as in the case of Melrose or Selkirk, the names of these former congregations have not been included; but in the case of towns with more than one congregation, such as Galashiels or Hawick, the names of the various constituent congregations are listed.
