In June, we agreed to take on responsibility for new priority areas of work, which will help deliver some of the City Councillor Frank McAveety Deal’s 28,000 new jobs. We also committed to developing a manifesto for economic development for the City Region. As the economic powerhouse of Scotland, it is crucial that we are at the forefront of shaping long-term growth for our local communities. Later this year we will set out our aspirations for how we want the City Region to maximise its economic potential. There is welcome debate opening up about a host of issues, such as regional economic partnerships, and we will work with all of our key partners in government and national and regional agencies as we help shape the future landscape. The City Deal also marked a number of significant milestones; the establishment of a new brand, the completion of the first City Deal infrastructure sub project by East Renfrewshire Council, and the first meeting held for the Region’s Commission for Economic Growth.

    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.

  • © Patricia M`Cafferty, May 2004. Abstract
    PATRICIA MCCAFFERTY WORKING THE 'THIRD WAY': NEW LABOUR, EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS, AND SCOTTISH DEVOLUTION THESIS PRESENTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY, DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW MAY 2004 © PATRICIA M`CAFFERTY, MAY 2004. ABSTRACT Labour's election victory in 1997 was heralded as a new era, the dawn of a Third Way, a novel attempt to chart a unique political course overcoming the perceivedlimitations of both New Right and Old Labour. In this thesis I explore the era of New Labour generally and, in particular, the impact of the Third Way on working lives. Key to my analysis is New Labour's attempt to synthesise oppositional interests,in particular those of capital and labour. This involves a crucial rhetoric of flexibility, competitivenessand partnership. My research explores the rhetoric of New Labour in relation to the reality of this new force in power. It does this by: " drawing out key features in the development of New Labour, especially its relation to Old Labour; " examining central elementsof New Labour ideology; " arguing that Scotland should be seen as central to the transition from Old to New :Labour; " utilising a case study of industrial relations developments in a major electronics factory in the West of Scotland and, to a lesser extent, key developmentsin public sector employment. My main finding is that where New Labour's ideology promisespositive benefits, the form of its implementation has negative impacts for workers. Since I take New Labour as a process, my thesis concludes with a more speculative exploration of possible future developments,both in relations to New Labour's role in them, and their possible impact on the New Labour project.
