  • Govanhill Gazette
    The Govanhill Gazette Volume 1, Issue 1 Spring 2015 Free It’s a rubbish situation - so what do we do about it? Pioneering study aims to discover the truth behind an issue that’s blighting a community t South Seeds, we’ve been wondering why there is so much fly-tipping in Govanhill, especially down the back lanes. ASo we were very excited when Zero Waste Scotland gave us some money to find out, writes Sue Reid Sexton. We decided to do this by looking at one block with a lane, the one we know best, where we built a community garden (see the back page). Over the growing season we had seen rubbish lying around for weeks near the community garden. We wanted to check out how rubbish gets there and how it leaves and what are the factors which influence this. Obviously the best thing to do was to ask everyone involved what they thought, and in January 2015 that’s exactly what we did. The block is bounded by Victoria Road, Dixon Avenue, Westmoreland Street and Allison Street, On Allison Street there are low buildings housing businesses and through a locked gate you can see the Dixon Avenue. Then we checked the size and layout of experiences of the lane, about what they lane. The rest of the block is made up of We spoke to 60 residents and the bins and took note of doors and gates understood about waste collection in this tenements, all of which are three storeys shopkeepers, and interviewed people that didn’t work because these are the area, what they thought of the lane and high.

  • Parishes and Congregations: Names No Longer in Use
    S E C T I O N 9 A Parishes and Congregations: names no longer in use The following list updates and corrects the ‘Index of Discontinued Parish and Congregational Names’ in the previous online section of the Year Book. As before, it lists the parishes of the Church of Scotland and the congregations of the United Presbyterian Church (and its constituent denominations), the Free Church (1843–1900) and the United Free Church (1900–29) whose names have completely disappeared, largely as a consequence of union. This list is not intended to be ‘a comprehensive guide to readjustment in the Church of Scotland’. Its purpose is to assist those who are trying to identify the present-day successor of a former parish or congregation whose name is now wholly out of use and which can therefore no longer be easily traced. Where the former name has not disappeared completely, and the whereabouts of the former parish or congregation may therefore be easily established by reference to the name of some existing parish, the former name has not been included in this list. Present-day names, in the right-hand column of this list, may be found in the ‘Index of Parishes and Places’ near the end of the book. The following examples will illustrate some of the criteria used to determine whether a name should be included or not: • Where all the former congregations in a town have been united into one, as in the case of Melrose or Selkirk, the names of these former congregations have not been included; but in the case of towns with more than one congregation, such as Galashiels or Hawick, the names of the various constituent congregations are listed.
