  • Local Resident Impact; Traffic Assessment Is Insufficient
    Address redacted Glasgow City Council / Glasgow Life PO Box 15175, Glasgow, G4 9LP Saturday, 4th July 2020 Dear Sir or Madam, Re. Planning application 20/01352/FUL I am writing to record my objection to the proposal, in its current form, for the Active Travel ​ ​ Management Plan in Pollok Country Park. Whilst I support - in principle - the stated objectives and many of the elements of the project to reduce the presence of cars within the centre of Pollok Country Park, and to prioritise active travel. Its core proposal to remove traffic from the core of the park is excellent. However it has significant shortcomings in the high-level response to the challenge in the project ​ ​ framing. It is missing key detail with regards its impact on local residents and active travel users in the immediate vicinity. The traffic analysis in particular takes an insufficiently wide scope, and does not explore relevant options or considerations. The plan therefore requires detailed reconsideration, with additional mitigations or rework, and ​ ​ ​ also to take into account Coronavirus mitigations currently being put in place in the affected vicinity (Haggs Road), references below. Local resident impact; Traffic assessment is insufficient The Shawmoss/Haggs junction is poorly considered, with inadequate modelling of the wider ​ contexts: ​ ● The proposed no-right turn into Shawmoss Road (7.2.14, “Right from Haggs Road south to Shawmoss Road”, see also figure 7.3) significantly disregards the needs and impacts on ​ residents in the Shawmoss, Herries Road, Crossmyloof vicinity. ● It risks causing car traffic to ignore road instructions; or to bypass the junction and cut against the current one-way in Herries Road; substantially increase traffic on minor road ​ Whins Road; or an extensive diversion via St Andrews Drive+Herries Road, or via ​ Crossmyloof.

  • Overview of Allocated Funding
    Overview of allocated funding A combined total of £979,625 has been awarded to 116 community groups and workplaces through the Cycling Friendly programme with a further £821,991 awarded to registered social landlords across Scotland for improvement facilities to promote walking and cycling. More than 90,000 people will benefit from the funding. Setting Number funded Amount funded People impacted Community groups 48 £536,737 Data not collected Employers 68 £442,888 27,500 Social housing 33 £821,991 62,119 providers Total 149 £1,801,616 89,619 Kath Brough, Head of Behaviour Change at Cycling Scotland said: “We’re delighted to announce funding to 149 organisations across Scotland to encourage more people to cycle. Cycling Scotland work closely with partners to help employers, community groups and housing associations take advantage of the benefits of cycling and this round of funding will provide opportunity for over 90,000 people across Scotland to access improved cycling facilities.” Elderbank Housing Association, based in Govan, Glasgow, will receive £25,000 to install cycle parking for the 2,700 residents living across their properties, where currently there is no cycle parking. Jim Fraser, Estate Management Inspector, said “lack of storage has been a key issue for residents, especially those in older tenement buildings, so installing bike parking will remove a significant barrier to the uptake in bike ownership and cycling as a healthy activity. Govan is well established as an area of high deprivation and residents can often be found to have low household income and higher levels of household debt. This can impact greatly on people’s ability to access public transport beyond a limited geographical area and frequency due to a lack of sufficient finance.

  • 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.

  • Easterhouse Thriving Place
    Easterhouse Thriving Place October 2017 Welcome to Easterhouse Thriving Place Thriving Places was introduced in Easterhouse to help improve the quality of life of people who live and work here. This can mean trying to improve health and wellbeing, community safety, education, employment, income, housing, the local environment or access to services. It can also mean encouraging local involvement in decision making. A key part of Thriving Places is providing services with people, not to people. This means engaging with communities using a grass roots approach to deliver the right services in order to address the right local needs. A Community Organiser was recruited in August 2016 to help local communities get involved in Thriving Places. As such, the work is just ending its first year. This 10-year plan will tell you more about what Thriving Places is doing in Easterhouse. It is based on consultation with local people over the last year. This is a living plan, which means that it will change as more local people get involved and the work progresses. Local communities have to be meaningfully involved for the plan to work. Without local communities and our partners working together we cannot achieve what the plan sets out. Local organisations are already involved in the Easterhouse Steering Group and we are keen for local people to join too. This plan is for people who live and work in the local area and there are plenty of opportunities to be involved in different ways. This could mean setting up or joining a community group, joining a club, attending meetings, volunteering or just telling us what you like or what you would like to change about the local area.

  • Our History History of Glen Oaks Housing Association Limited
    “Where communities thrive” Our History History of Glen Oaks Housing Association Limited Our vision statement “Where Communities Thrive”, aims to set the scene for the long- term future of our estates. In its 26-year history, the Association has built up a strong reputation as an innovative community-controlled organisation which places customer service, financial viability and being an excellent employer at its heart. Since its registration in 1991 the Association has grown organically through renovations, new-build and stock transfers. Darnley housing stock transfer: the Association was initially set up to take ownership of 310 homes in the Darnley area from the then Glasgow District Council, following a tenant ballot. The Darnley estate was built in the 1970s and by the 1990s poor design and maintenance, along with many empty homes, meant that a multi-agency, multi-tenure regeneration plan for the whole Darnley estate was required and agreed. The Association went on to re-develop its existing homes, most of which were demolished and replaced with high quality new homes. A small number of existing homes were refurbished. Glen Oaks also developed a further 40 new homes in Darnley on a separate site acquired from Glasgow City Council. Cartloch housing stock transfer: the Association was approached by a group of tenants in the Cartloch area of North Pollok. They had initially hoped to set up their own housing association, however this wasn’t a viable option so they decided to work with an existing landlord. Glen Oaks was chosen and, after a tenant ballot, went on to achieve a successful stock transfer of 235 homes from Glasgow City Council in 1997.
