implementation of Local Air Quality Management. The main objective is to provide an annual review and update on air quality issues by reporting progress on implementing Local Air Quality Management in the local authority’s area and progress in achieving, or maintaining concentrations below the air quality objectives. This report provides a summary of all available monitoring data for the purpose of comparison with the relevant air quality objectives and details results for new monitoring sites, as well as highlighting any evidence of trends over recent years. In addition, progresses on measures that have been undertaken as part of the Air Quality Action Plan are summarised. Industrial There are a small number of industrial processes in Glasgow that have the potential to emit significant quantities of pollutants, but it is believed that no new industrial processes have commenced operation or have changed significantly since the last round of Review & Assessment. Glasgow City Council proposes to introduce a monitoring programme to assess ambient concentrations of PM10 at relevant locations in the vicinity of specific industrial processes. The results from this monitoring programme and air-dispersion modelling from each location will be presented in future review and assessment documents. Commercial/Residential New Residential, Commercial and Public Developments that are considered in the report to warrant further assessment include: • Queen’s Dock 2 (QD2) Development (Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre site) • Pacific Quay, which is a 60 acre site on the south side of Glasgow and is already home to Glasgow Science Centre, an IMAX cinema and the city’s innovative Glasgow Tower. As part of the Clyde Waterfront regeneration plan, it will be turned into a "digital media campus" and business park. Construction began on-site in 2004, the area will accommodate the new headquarters for BBC Scotland, the Scottish Media Group and Film City Glasgow. • Glasgow Harbour is the name given to the redevelopment of 49 hectares of former ship yards, docks, warehouses and granaries fronting the River Clyde and the River Kelvin south of Clydeside Expressway, between the SECC and the Clyde Tunnel. Transportation New transportation developments that are considered in the report to warrant further assessment include: • Finnieston Road Bridge. • East End regeneration route • M74 extension These issues will require to be assessed in more detail by Glasgow City Council and careful consideration will be given to the air quality in the areas which are being or are due to be developed. All relevant information will be reported in more detail in the next full round of review and assessment. 5 1.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1.1 Purpose and Role of the Progress Report Progress Reports have been introduced into the Review and Assessment process to ensure continuity in the Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) process. It will allow air quality monitoring data and local development changes that may impact on air quality to be assessed on a regular basis and provide an early indication of whether measures are required to improve air quality. The main objective is to provide an annual review and update on air quality issues by reporting progress on implementing Local Air Quality Management in the local authority’s area and progress in achieving, or maintaining, concentrations below the air quality objectives.

    Gobike High Street Saltmarket Action Plan Comments 010518

    Dana Duffy PO Box 15175, Glasgow, G4 9LP Development and Regeneration Services Glasgow City Council. e-mail: [email protected] 231 George Street, Glasgow, G1 1RX web: www.gobike.org By e-mail to: [email protected] Ref: TF/D6 Cc: Councillor Angus Millar, [email protected] 01 May 2018 Dear Ms Duffy, THE GLASGOW CITY COUNCIL, High Street/Saltmarket Action Plan We have been made aware of the current consultation for the High Street and Saltmarket and are grateful for the opportunity to comment. We have made our members and supporters aware of the consultation and we understand that a significant number of them have responded to the on-line survey. However, many of the questions there are not applicable to an active travel campaign group such as GoBike and thus we offer the following comments: It is important that the High Street and Saltmarket are revitalised and shops, cafes and businesses are attracted to the area but the street environment must be radically improved to encourage people to walk and cycle along the street and spend time there. Currently the street is a four-lane highway with cars, vans, buses travelling through. So what must be done? The pavements must be widened and their surface improved, with unnecessary street furniture removed, to encourage people to walk and window shop, perhaps even sit outside a cafe. Cycle lanes must be introduced; people already cycle along the street, dodging the parked vehicles and those that are speeding and their journeys will be made less hazardous by the provision of cycle lanes.

    You May Not Consider a City the Best Place to See Interesting Geology, but Think Again! the City of Glasgow Was, Quite Literally

    Glasgow’s Geodiversity K Whitbread1, S Arkley1 and D Craddock2 1British Geological Survey, 2 Glasgow City Council You may not consider a city the best place to see interesting geology, but think again! The city of Glasgow was, quite literally, built on its geology – it may even have been named after one of its rocky features. The geological history of the Glasgow area can be read in the rocks and sediments exposed within the city, from the streams to the buildings and bridges. In 2013 the British Geological Survey Quarrying and building stone conducted a Geodiversity Audit of Sandstones in the Carboniferous sedimentary rocks in the Glasgow the City of Glasgow for Glasgow City area were commonly quarried for Council to identify and describe the building stone. Many former quarries have been infilled, but the best geological features in the city ‘dressed’ faces of worked sandstone, with ‘tool’ marks still area. visible, can be seen in some road cuttings, such as the one below in Here we take you on a tour of some the Upper Limestone Formation at Possil Road. of the sites....

Once complete, it will improve river water quality and the natural environment of the CRiver Clyde and its tributaries, enable the Greater Glasgow area to grow and develop, alleviate sewer flooding key locations and deal with the effects of increased rainfall and climate change in the area served by the Shieldhall WwTW. The Shieldhall Tunnel will be 3.1 miles long (more than five times as long as the Clyde Tunnel that takes a dual carriageway beneath the river) and 4.70m in diameter, big enough to fit a double-decker bus inside. It will be the biggest wastewater tunnel in Scotland, with a storage capacity equivalent to 36 Olympic-sized swimming pools. ‘Daisy’, the Shieldhall Tunnel TBM - Courtesy of Herrenknecht Section of TBM lowered into Shaft 1 - Courtesy of SNS Section of TBM lowered into Shaft 1 - Courtesy of SNS Planning CVJV have been carrying out preparatory work, including mine The investment follows years of collaboration and studies by the working consolidation, utility diversion work, constructing the Metropolitan Glasgow Strategic Drainage Partnership (MGSDP), first shaft, service chamber, cut and cover and the tunnel boring whose members include Scottish Water, the Scottish Environment machine (TBM) launch chamber at Craigton in advance of Protection Agency (SEPA), Glasgow City Council and Scottish Canals. tunnelling beginning.

Traffic Signals 7. Traffic, Signs, Lines & Street Furniture 8. Structures 9. Clyde Tunnel 1. Introduction The Annual Status and Options Report is a product of our Road Asset Management Plan. It records the condition of our road assets and provides a means of identifying and prioritising the overall funding needs. This report discusses the status of our road assets in terms of extent, value and condition and presents the projected outcome of a number of investment options. The options and scenarios presented aim to assist with the budget setting process and identify where investment should be prioritised. The cost of replacing all road infrastructure assets is estimated at £4.5bn. The level of investment required to maintain our roads infrastructure in its current condition (steady state) is estimated at £30.1m per year; this equates to an annual investment of 0.67% of the total asset value. The Report contains a section for each road asset that outlines: 1. Asset Overview 2. Asset Condition. 3. Investment Options. The pie charts below illustrate and compares the annual level of investment required to maintain the asset in its current condition against the current level of investment.
