  • GLASGOW WEST END U3A January 2021 Newsletter
    GLASGOW WEST END U3A January 2021 Newsletter Dear All Happy New Year to you all. 2021 has got off to a shaky start but hopefully it will improve. We just want a vaccine… The weather has been lovely though a bit treacherous underfoot in places. The hospital grounds at Gartnavel Royal have been well-gritted and are ideal for a sunny winter walk. Bingham’s Pond provided much entertainment for children when most of it was frozen. Bit too much excitement for me, I prefer to be on firmer ground. GWEU3A continues to be busy on Zoom/Facebook/WhatsApp. We had a lovely Christmas Event by Fool’s Gold in December which all enjoyed. The David Hume Institute Focus Group on what we found important to happiness during lockdown, leading on to Equality and Fairness, proved very popular and stimulating. A number of you walked for Shelter with a pal in December which was worthwhile exercise. Coffee and Chat continues to be popular and a good way to meet members. The small groups are continuing very well with a new French group starting up. Edith Fleming is getting musicians together to play and listen to classical music. If you wish to join them please indicate through the website in the usual way. After the Focus Group a number of people expressed an interest in being part of a Current Affairs Group. This would require members to be unbiased politically, and would require a structure and format a bit like the Focus group. If you are interested in further discussion about such a group please email me at [email protected] and I will try to facilitate it.

  • Knightswood/ Northtemplar Community
    Mark Clark Knightswood/ 989 Crow Road (APPENDIX 3) Anniesland Glasgow NorthTemplar G13 1JP Community Council 28 August, 2009 Representation number : 855 Part: Part 3: Devt Policies and Design Guidance Section: Policies-Retail and Commercial Leisure Page 88 Para/Policy: SC 11 Policy Title: Food and Drink Uses Dear Sir or Madam: This representation has come about due to a combination of factors. One is the trend in the hospitality industry towards forms of horizontal integration expressed in an increasing demand for composite or hybrid uses incorporating significant elements of Class 11 leisure use with public house and restaurant uses. Another relates to changes in licensing legislation produced by the implementation of the licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 which replaced the previous system of 7 categories of licence with 2 types of licence, a premises licence and a personal licence. These shifts have occurred at the same time as changes in the nature of work, where the clear division between the bustle of the working day and the relative quiet of the evening hours is much reduced. Many people work shifts or work at the weekend and shops are routinely open in the evenings and on Sundays with 24-hour opening becoming much more common. This, coupled with the absolute and relative expansion of the service sector, increased leisure time and rising levels of disposable income means that City streets are busy to a much later hour, not only in the city centre but also in commercial areas across the City , and it is the late-night use of these very commercial areas which causes members of our community council so much concern.

  • Glasgow Life Update on Venues Not Yet Scheduled for Re-Opening - April 2021
    Glasgow Life update on venues not yet scheduled for re-opening - April 2021 The global pandemic of Covid-19 has forced significant changes to how Glasgow Life operates. We are maximising the impact of the funding available in spite of reduced capacities in venues. We know how much people value our services. We are working hard to reopen venues wherever possible and the list below details the venues for which we are currently exploring future options. We want community assets that are fit for purpose for the ever-changing needs of our communities. Glasgow has led the way in reimagining our community assets and delivering improved models of co-location to increase usage and engagement and some of our services may move to new venues in the local community. The benefits of co-location have been well accepted for a number of years now across Glasgow as a creative way of maximising the scope and impact of important community services by sharing some operational requirements and costs. Examples of this include Milton where the Glasgow Club Gym and local library are based in the same building attached to the local school; Springburn where the local gym, swimming pool and library are based together or in Pollok where Glasgow Club facilities, the local library, a small community museum space and the local health centre are all housed under one roof. Where a service has been moved, the Council and Glasgow Life will continue to explore viable and positive uses for the city’s heritage buildings in line with Glasgow City Council’s ‘Heritage Asset Strategy 2019-2029’1.

  • Simd Analysis: Future Projections
    SIMD ANALYSIS: FUTURE PROJECTIONS 1. Background and Introduction 1.1. This paper analyses the reasons behind the recent decline of deprivation in Glasgow, projects these trends towards 2015, and comments on their likely implications. It is based on a presentation made to the Community Planning Executive Group on 2nd June 2010, which itself came from a series of events held in autumn 2009/spring 2010, involving over 120 people from council and non- council organisations in Glasgow. 1.2. The gains Glasgow made in reducing its share of Scotland’s deprivation have been the result of long-term trends that have been operating over the last two or more decades. Identifying both the trends that led to the current situation, and those currently in operation which can reasonably be presented as being influential in Glasgow towards 2015, form the basis of the projections in this paper. The main indicator used has been the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD), and the analysis of three waves (2004, 2006 and 2009) has been supported by the use of other indicators. Looking at the absence of deprivation as well as at areas defined by deprivation includes all communities and gives a rounded analysis of the city. 1.3. The trends that have shaped the city at present are long-term and have been in operation since the 1990s, if not earlier. It follows that trends that can be identified in the present day will be those that influence the city by 2015. Their general direction has been to accelerate Glasgow’s development to its current position as a representative medium-sized western European city.

  • Centenary Booklet
    1 IN THE BEGINNING 1899 – 1906 At the end of the 19th century Anniesland was an area where coal-pits and quarries, blaes bings and brickworks existed side by side with agricultural land. In 1899, at the Cross itself, there was only a smithy standing in an open field, with farmlands to the east. Bearsden Road did not exist. Great Western Road terminated at the Cross – beyond were green fields where cows grazed and bings of red blaes. The open ground now occupied by the church and hall was actually the site of an old quarry. To the north was the village of Temple, with its church built in 1892. Scattered clusters of cottages, at Claythorne and down Anniesland Road, housed the families of miners and others employed at the local pits, as did the Knightswood Rows, where Knightswood Secondary School now stands. But the Anniesland Cross area was on the brink of rapid expansion both as a commercial and residential area. New industries were attracting workers from other areas. During the 1890s a number of people migrated from Maryhill to the district. Among them were members of Maryhill United Presbyterian Church [now Gairbraid Church]. Their minister, the Rev William Duncan, encouraged them and others in the area to petition the UP Presbytery for the opening of a preaching station or „church extension‟ at Anniesland Cross. A note in the first Minute Book of the church records: „The Presbytery, in September 1898, when the petition was before it, having regard to the rapid increase of population in the district of Anniesland, giving promise of a vigorous congregation in the near future, granted the requests of the petitioners.‟ Less than a year later – in August 1899 – a hall had been built [now the Old Hall] at a cost of £1,450 and church services had begun.
