Canal Area Partnership Profile 2016 Item 5 Appendix 1 Canal Area 22nd February 2016 Partnership Profile 2016 1. Area Partnership Overview Canal Area Partnership stretches from Milton in the North to Port Dundas and the M8 in the South. The Forth & Clyde Canal runs along the western and most of the southern boundary of the Area Partnership. It has the fifth lowest concentration of dwellings among Glasgow’s 21 Area Partnership but located within the AP are the communities of Firhill/North Kelvin, Hamiltonhill, Lambhill, Milton, Parkhouse, Possilpark and Ruchill. The Forth and Clyde Canal, including the branch of the canal to Port Dundas, is one of the defining features of the north of the city. The Glasgow Canal Partnership, between Scottish Canals and Glasgow City Council, aims to unlock the massive potential of the Canal corridor. This includes the Speirs Locks Masterplan, the £6.2m new Canal Basin project and the Glasgow Paddlesports Centre. Area Partnership – Summary Information Canal Glasgow 32,439 Population (2013)* (5th highest) 596,550 % Working Age Population (16‐61/64) 68.3% 68.3% % Children (0‐15) 15.7% 16.2% % Pensionable Age (61/64+) 16.1% 15.5% % of Houses in Council Tax Band A (2012/13)* 28.5% 22.1% % of Houses in Council Tax Band A‐C (2012/13)* 79.6% 70.3% % Working Age claiming Out of Work Benefits (May 2015)** 23.6% 17.9% % Unemployed – JSA + Universal Credit (Out of Work) (Nov 3.8% 2015)** (5th highest) 3.2% 165 Average Tariff Score for S4 Pupils (2012/13)* (4th lowest) 176 2. Single Outcome Agreement The Single Outcome Agreement for Glasgow 2013 sets out an agreed set of priorities between partners in the city. We have agreed to work together over ten years to re‐shape existing services and develop new services in order to achieve better outcomes for residents of the city. The priorities of Glasgow’s Single Outcome Agreement are: Alcohol Youth Employment Vulnerable People These are supplemented by a commitment to achieving better outcomes in particular neighbourhoods, known as our Thriving Places approach. Alcohol The Canal ward has 52 licensed premises, representing a 2.9 % share of the city’s licensed premises*. In 2014, Glasgow City had 6,403 alcohol related hospital admissions. This is a 4.5% reduction compared to the previous year, and shows a 16.5% decline over the past decade. In the same period, the city experienced 182 alcohol related deaths. Again, this is a downwards trend, with a 3.7% reduction compared to 2013 and a 37.5% ten year reduction**. Across Glasgow’s electoral wards however, there has historically been large differences in alcohol‐ related death rates, with the more deprived wards generally having higher levels of alcohol‐related deaths among their residents: in 2007/11 the highest alcohol‐related death rate in the city was 101 deaths per 100,000 (in Calton) compared with the lowest of 19 per 100,000 (in Pollokshields) ***. Alcohol‐related deaths in the Canal ward were above the Glasgow average between 2007‐2011 at approximately 60 deaths per 100,000 population. Compared to the five other North West Sector wards during the same period, the ward had the highest proportion of alcohol related deaths during this period. Youth Employment As at 2013, Canal had the third largest number and fourth highest percentage of people aged 16 ‐24 among the Glasgow Multi Member electoral wards. The percentage of its population aged 0‐15 is slightly below the Glasgow average which would indicate that part of its 16‐24 population is students residing in the area. Thus, youth employment is relevant in this AP for more young people in Canal than is the average across the city with the youth employment focus for young people resident in Canal being on both transitions from school to a positive destination, including employment, and from further education to employment. Based on the follow up destinations for pupils leaving school in 2013, 83.3% were in a “positive” destination which was the fifth lowest level across Glasgow electoral wards (Glasgow average 85%). and significantly below the Scottish average of 90.4%. The most recently published 2014/15 SLDR information based on Glasgow secondary schools would indicate that this relative position hasn’t improved as the two main local secondary schools for Canal AP were ranked 4th and 9th lowest in terms of “positive destination” percentages among the 30 Glasgow secondary schools. The average tariff score for pupils in Canal in 2012/13 for both S4 and S6 pupils was below the Glasgow average score for each year and for S4 pupils, it was the fourth lowest level across the Glasgow electoral wards. As at November 2015, there were 220 Jobs Seekers Allowance/Out of Work Universal Credit claimants in Canal aged 16‐24. This is the highest number across Glasgow’s electoral wards and equates to 4.0% of the 16‐24 population in Canal. The equivalent percentage for Glasgow is 3.4%. Both percentages are an underestimate of the level of 18‐24 year old claimants as very few 16‐17 year olds (30 currently across Glasgow) are eligible to claim JSA. However, the current number of young JSA claimants in Canal is less than half of the number in November 2011 (460). Nearly half (n55; 44%) of the young JSA claimants has been claiming for more than six months and a fifth (n25; 20%) for more than a year. Vulnerable People The Single Outcome Agreement Vulnerable People priority is initially targeting two themes: In‐work Poverty City wide, an estimated 14% of working households find it difficult to cope on their current income. Homelessness and Housing Need The number of homeless applications made in the city is 4,974 per year. For 2014/15, 72% of the city’s homelessness assessments were undertaken by Glasgow North Social Work Services. Thriving Places The thriving place approach is an additional and intensive asset based partnership approach by service providers, residents and community groups in a defined area. It forms part of the overall approach to the delivery of Glasgow’s Single Outcome agreement. Nine thriving place areas have been identified across the city. Two of these nine thriving places are in the Canal ward: Ruchill and Possilpark and Lambhill and Milton. neighbourhood in Canal. These nine areas have been selected as they have exhibited poor outcomes for a number of years and present opportunities to improve on these outcomes. Ruchill and Possilpark Ruchill and Possilpark had the lowest life expectancy of all neighbourhoods in Glasgow in the most recent period for both males and females. Women in Ruchill and Possilpark live, on average, almost seven years longer than men A relatively high percentage of people in the neighbourhood are also limited ‘a lot’ or ‘a little’ by a disability at 30%. The neighbourhood has a low employment rate compared with the rest of Glasgow at 47% and a high percentage of young people are not in education, employment or training at 25% The proportion of children living in poverty in Ruchill and Possilpark is considerably higher than the Glasgow average at 47%. Lambhill and Milton Life expectancy for both male and females in Lambhill and Milton is slightly lower than the Glasgow average. A high percentage of young people are not in education, employment or training at 18% and the proportion of children living in poverty is considerably higher than the Glasgow average. A very high percentage of the population live within 500 metres of derelict or vacant land (97%). 3. Local Consultation Responses Between October 2015 – January 2016, 578 people participated in the city’s Investment Plan Consultation Survey. 19% of participants were Area Partnership members, 42% were previous or current applicants and 21% were members of a local voluntary sector network. The survey questions were focussed on identifying respondents views on what were the important priorities for the use of the AP budget. The questions covered Glasgow’s Single Outcome Agreement (SOA) priorities, thematic priorities and Neighbourhood Management. At a city wide level, the SOA priorities identified by participants as the most important for the use of the Area Partnership's Budget was Vulnerable People. This was followed by Youth Employment, and then by Thriving Places. Alcohol was the identified as the lowest priority in this survey out of the four SOA priorities. For the Canal survey participants, the SOA identified as the most important for the use of the Area Partnership's Budget was Youth Employment and participants identified a list of additional priorities: Canal Additional Priorities Ranked by Survey: Canal SOA Priorities 1.

Thriving Places 3. Vulnerable People 3. Residents report a positive perception of their overall quality of life 4. Alcohol =4. Cleansing and the Environment, Educational Attainment and Anti‐social behaviour levels 4. Integrated Grants Fund The Integrated Grant Fund (IGF) provides grant funding to organisations to deliver high quality and much needed services to the citizens of Glasgow across all 21 wards. Funding is allocated to meet the priorities of Glasgow City Council and of the Glasgow Community Planning Partnership. From 2015/16, the IGF will support a wide range of activity under six new grants programmes. Across the six programmes, the Canal ward benefits from approximately £1,938,205 of IGF expenditure in 2015/16. This is in addition to the Canal Area Budget IGF allocation of £68,012 bringing the wards total IGF amount to £1,938,205. This approximation is based upon the grant amount each project receives and the population of the wards in which it makes its services accessible.

The aim of this project was to find hidden pieces of glass that perhaps not many folk know about and bring them to a wider audience along with accompanying stories from the people who told us about their glass finds. Here is the result; the Glass Stories Trail. It is a circular route and you can start the trail at any point and visit as much or as little of it as you like. There are also suggestions of additional diversions that you can take away from the trail to see other things that, if incorporated into the trail route, would have made it a bit too big to do comfortably.

  • Re-Valuing Canals Valuation of Ecosystem Services Provided by the Smart Canal Project
    Master of urban climate and sustainability (MUrCS) Re-valuing canals Valuation of ecosystem services provided by the Smart Canal project Ala' Al Dwairi August 2020 Re-valuing canals Valuation of ecosystem services provided by the Smart Canal project Ala' Al Dwairi Submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements of Master of Urban Climate & Sustainability (MUrCS) Glasgow Caledonian University, UK; LAB University of Applied Sciences, Finland; University of Huelva, Spain Supervisor: Prof. Slobodan B. Mickovski August 2020 Declaration of originality 'This dissertation is my original work and has not been submitted elsewhere in fulfillment of the requirements of this or any other award.' Ala' Al Dwairi August 17, 2020 ABSTRACT The primary purpose of this work was to provide a new view of the role canals can play in cities. In Glasgow city, canals were held highly for its role in shaping the industrial image of the city during the industrial revolution (1790-1930). After the Forth & Clyde canal (‘the Canal’ in further text) demise due to the uprise of railway transport, it moved to hold a scheduled monument status with recreational uses in the city. This dissertation aims to highlight the different roles canals can play in cities by mapping the provision of Ecosystem Services (ES) provided by the Smart Canal project in the north of Glasgow city. Furthermore, the performed ES mapping started by adopting a Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) using Geographic Information System (GIS). Eight ES (one provisioning, five regulating, and two cultural) were mapped based on available spatial data for land use and landcover classes combined with other criteria.
