  • NBG Report for KCC Meeting 19 Apr 2017
    NBG Report for KCC Meeting 19 Apr 2017 Further progress! The new fibre cabinet at the Killearn exchange is now live, accepting orders, and some residents have already got the service installed and working. Speeds are reported to be as expected at 30Mbps or more. So if you live in “The Trees”, nearby, or in the centre of the village, you should be able to get “super-fast broadband! About 50% of postcodes in the village are now connected to one of the fibre cabinets. Status of your individual connectivity can be checked on either of the WhereandWhen pages of the BT Openreach or Digital Scotland websites or in the tables at the end of this report. This site is also showing a download of the exchange roll-out list, but as this is only at exchange level, it doesn’t help very much. NOTE: Remember the Digital Scotland “Better Broadband Scheme” provides a subsidy to establish a better connection using either satellite or wireless for those currently getting download speeds of less than 2Mbps. See the KCC website for specific links. Balfron has also got more cabinets with 85% of the village now showing as “Accepting Orders”. Strathblane/Blanefield is in a similar position with slightly over 85% of the village covered. Buchlyvie has nearly 90% showing as connected while Croftamie/Drymen is showing nearly 60% Accepting Orders. All this does have to be qualified though as many premises are on long lines, and whilst they will see a significant benefit in speed (double or better), they will not achieve “super-fast” speeds.

  • Long-Distance Walks
    Long distance walks Page 1 of 47 Long-distance walks Long distance walks Page 2 of 47 Walking has always been a rewarding activity to me. As a boy in Rushden I walked to school, to visit relatives, to Boys Brigade meetings and to the Methodist Church. You walked or cycled. In Cambridge it was often easier to walk than cycle. When I was at home during vacations with Anne living in Irchester, 3 miles away, I often walked back late at night cursing an early last bus. When our boys were young we went to the nearby National Trust properties at Styal or Lyme Park to play and walk. One standout memory is coming down from the Bowstones at Lyme Park with Richard, aged 2, showing signs of hypothermia. And my interest in fungi started during these walks as the boys were ace at spotting them. We still walk most days for 2 or 3 miles although often with a stop for coffee along the way. We know, and can rate, every coffee shop in the area. So it is no surprise that I have some long-distance walks to write about. The first, and longest, was the Pennine Way done as a single walk over 14 days in 1975. It was the first official long distance route created in the UK. Now they criss-cross the country. You are as likely to see a fingerpost saying something like Hatters Way as simply Public Footpath. My next experience – the northern section of the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path – differed in almost every way.

  • Faqs About Burncrooks Project
    . FAQs about Burncrooks project Q1 What does the Burncrooks water quality project involve? A Investing about £25m to improve services to customers by changing the source of their water supply from Burncrooks Water Treatment Works (WTW) in west Stirlingshire, close to the border with West Dunbartonshire, to Milngavie Water Treatment Works in East Dunbartonshire. Q2 What is the main thing the project will deliver for customers? A High quality drinking water. Changing the source of their water supply from Burncrooks WTW to Milngavie WTW. will ensure about 54,000 customers in parts of the Bearsden, Milngavie, Clydebank, Mugdock, Strathblane and Blanefield areas receive the highest quality drinking water for many years to come. This includes customers in the north and west of Bearsden, parts of Milngavie on higher elevations such as Mains Estate, Barloch, and Clober, most of the Clydebank area including Duntocher, Faifley and Hardgate, and Mugdock and parts of Strathblane and Blanefield. In addition to these domestic customers, the investment will also benefit a large number of businesses and buildings such as schools. Q3 What is the issue with Burncrooks WTW? A Burncrooks WTW has served the area well, since it opened in the late 1950s/early 1960s, but is reaching the end of its working life and will be decommissioned. Scottish Water has determined that Burncrooks WTW is not suitable to meet long-term water quality standards. It would also not bring any resilience to the system, i.e. the ability to supply water from an alternative source in the event of loss of supply. Q4 Have the water quality exceedances been a safety issue? A No, these have not been a safety issue.

  • 213R Cuilt Road
    213R Cuilt Road CARBETH, BLANEFIELD, STIRLINGSHIRE, G63 9AY 01786 231 155 Milengabie, location a few miles from the property, featuring amenities such as a Marks & Spencers and a Waitrose Number 213 Cuilt Road is a ‘Hut’ in Carbeth, a rural location, just northwest of both Milngavie and Bearsden suburbs, in the geographic post code of Blanefield. It falls just within the Stirlingshire boundary yet is effectively suburban living, given that both Milngavie and Bearsden are within a five minute drive and Glasgow’s West End and city centre can be reached by car within half an hour. Traditional Hutting since 1918, Community Ownership since 2013. The history of Carbeth and the story of its Hutters is complex. Its beginnings were altruistic when returning soldiers from the first World War were granted camping rights by the landowner Allan Barns Graham. Important also was the health of families living along the industrial banks of the River Clyde. The city of Glasgow and its satellites, at full productive capacity created everything, including pollution, on an industrial scale. The detriment to health was serious. The lure of the countryside to provide fresh air and tranquility was an obvious choice to combat these problems. This idea, of course, had become well established by the ‘camping and trekking’ phenomenon that took place nationwide in the 1920s and 1930s. Carbeth’s population expanded in relation to this need. Numbers peaked in 1941 as a direct result of enemy action when the nearby town of Clydebank was devastated in an air raid. The Huts filled with evacuees and homeless families.
