Or use the scripts to inspire them to write performances for other characters who have been part of the bandstand’s history? PAGE TWO 2. Putting it together - construction science The Bandstand was built in 1924, and re-opened in 2014. An apparently simple traditional building, in fact the Bandstand and Amphitheatre cleverly use the natural contours of the landscape, resulting in great sight lines, and a naturally successful acoustic. A visit on an open day in summer could be used to explore with second level pupils the construction materials. Pupils could first watch the You Tube film by Hopscotch, The Kelvingrove Bandstand, which documents the restoration process, as well as people’s memories. As a safe, enclosed place, pupils could have a Glass checklist to find examples of: • Windows to back stage spaces, to the ticket offices, stage lighting has glass covers.

Recent highlights have in- cluded the multimillion pound restoration of the Kibble Palace (2003-06), and also the completion of the restoration of the Main Range (2004), the restoration of the Long Pit (2011) and Pit 1 (2013), and the open- ing of the ‘Tea Room at the Botanics’ in 2012. The Kelvin Walkway, from Garrioch Drive to Belmont Street, is also contained within the Gardens’ foot- print. This provides an opportunity to give more attention to the day-to-day maintenance of these areas and provide visitors with extended walking routes and enhanced interpretation and labelling. In 2015 Land and Environmental Services will significantly improve plant labelling in all areas of the grounds in the main Gardens area. Improvements will also progress in underutilised or overgrown areas including the Rosaceae bed and the monocot border. Throughout the history of the Gardens – which dates back to 1817 – the emphasis has been on the plant collections and their use in education and, to a lesser extent, research.

This Progress Report is required as part of Glasgow City Council’s Review and Assessment programme. This Progress Report has looked in detail at the new monitoring data available since the last round of review and assessment as well as considering the impact from various potential sources of pollution. Air Quality in Glasgow During 2016, Glasgow City Council has measured concentrations of nitrogen dioxide above the Annual Mean Objective at two automatic monitoring stations within existing Air Quality Management Areas (AQMA’s) and at multiple locations, by diffusion tube, within the existing City Centre AQMA. The Hourly Mean Objective was not exceeded at any of the automatic monitoring stations. Neither the Annual Mean Objective for PM10 nor the Daily Mean Objective was exceeded at any monitoring location during 2016.
