Originally the location of a clay quarry used when the Forth & Clyde Canal was first built in the late 1700s, it was also the site of a foundry, glassworks and boat-building yard. These industries are long gone but the historic canal buildings, the oldest in Scotland, still dot the banks. The Claypits’ beautiful setting, running alongside the edge of the canal, offers a tranquil, wild greenspace in the heart of the city, abundant with wildlife. Roe deer roam the site and many bird species can be found, from peregrine falcons to whitethroat warblers and a host of waterfowl – even the elusive water rail. In surrounding communities, currently poorly served by quality greenspaces, the Claypits is a lifeline – offering vital opportunities for leisure, health, re-connecting with nature, education, community events and volunteering. 75,000 people live with a within a 20-minute walk (or just minutes of cycling). Over the last few years, Scottish Canals, with Glasgow City Council and Friends of Possilpark Greenspace, have worked together to not only secure the site’s future by having it protected as a Local Nature Reserve, but also in securing substantial funding to support an extensive, but sensitive, programme of development. These forthcoming developments are based upon findings from a number of community consultations. This first stage, the construction of a cycling and walking route funded by Sustrans, now enables people of all abilities to better access the Local Nature Reserve and links to the wider towpath and National Walking and Cycling Network. Future proposed developments include an extension to the path network, boardwalks, re- designing the entrances, picnic area, interpretation boards and a new bridge to enhance access for the residents of Firhill, Woodside and Maryhill. There is now a Claypits Local Nature Reserve Management Group - an independent charity made up entirely of local people, who in partnership with Friends of Possilpark Greenspace, will work very closely with Scottish Canals and Glasgow City Council in the delivery of these works. THE FUTURE OF GLASGOW’S MOST UNUSUAL NATURE RESERVE IS LOOKING BRIGHT..

Executive Summary The City of Glasgow has a long tradition in the pursuit of a high quality built environment and public realm, continuing to the present day. This strategy represents the next steps in this tradition by setting out how open space should be planned, created, enhanced and managed in order to meet the priorities for Glasgow for the 21st century. This is not just an open space strategy. It is a cross‐cutting vision for delivering a high quality environment that supports economic vitality, improves the health of Glasgow’s residents, provides opportunities for low carbon movement, builds resilience to climate change, supports ecological networks and encourages community cohesion. This is because, when planned well, open space can provide multiple functions that deliver numerous social, economic and environmental benefits. Realising these benefits should be undertaken in a way that is tailored to the needs of the City. As such, this strategy examines the priorities Glasgow has set out and identifies six cross‐cutting strategic priority themes for how open space can contribute to meeting them.

  • Wyndford, Collina Street and Other Areas Including Ruchill, Ruchazie and Pollok
    Cube Housing Association Investing In Our Futures www.cubehousing.co.uk Our local plan at Cube for the next five years For Wyndford, Collina Street, Ruchill, Ruchazie and Pollok Cube’s new five-year strategy, ‘Investing In Our Futures’, has been shaped by listening to feedback from our tenants about what is important to them. This leaflet tells you what this means for you and your local area between now and 2020. It sets out what local people told us their priorities were and what we plan to do in your community over the next five years. This leaflet covers the communities of Wyndford, Collina Street and other areas including Ruchill, Ruchazie and Pollok. What you told us In developing the plan, we engaged with customers through our ‘We’re here to help’ campaign, talking to people who live in our communities and capturing customers’ views on what we can do to make further improvements. Customers raised concerns about the environment and what people think of the Wyndford area. Over 250 customers attended an open day to give us their views. Better homes, better lives We’ve put forward ambitious plans that will transform this area. We have applied for funding from Scottish Government and Scottish Heritage Fund, which, if successful, will be matched by Cube’s parent company, Wheatley Group. Customers told us it was costing them a lot to contact Cube by phone. We have created a new freephone number – 0800 027 3456 – which is free from mobiles and landlines and is available 24 hour a day, 365 days a year.

  • Brian Keenan Threatened Closure of Maryhill, Kelvinside and Gilshochill
    Brian Keenan Threatened closure of Maryhill, Kelvinside and Gilshochill stations. I wish to register my objection to the closure of the 3 stations. What sensible justification can there be to close 3 unmanned stations that serve their respective communities? Other than the cleaning and periodic maintenance of these stations that cost very little in relative terms to the upkeep of Scotland's overall rail system, there can be no economic reasons to close them. To suggest, in the case of closing Maryhill and Gilshochill stations, that current and potential users will simply use Summerston is simply absurd. Many of the current users do so because of the convenient locality of the 2 stations. Also, a considerable number of users, residents of nearby Bearsden and other nearby locations, use Maryhill on a park-and ride basis, leaving their cars in quiet nearby locations. Closing Maryhill, therefore, would probably add to the congestion on an already very busy Maryhill Road. Also, most local users would revert to travelling by bus, or worse, use cars, to travel to and from the city causing additional congestion. It is very unlikely that most of the current users would walk to Summerston. All of this, would of course, lead to less revenue for the rail system. Surely this defies the logic of sensible government that wishes to encourgae a greater use of our rail systems rather than a reduction! I consider the present government's consideration to close these stations to be seriously flawed and ill-thought. As a lifelong supporter of self determination for Scotland and an SNP voter since I turned 18 years of age, 47 years ago, closing these stations would indicate to me a serious defficiency in common sense government, and would lead me to question how a future Scottish government would have the competence to manage vital issues.
