Glasgow City Council 2Nd October 2018 Neighbourhoods, Housing and Public Realm City Policy Committee Item 3 Glasgow City Council 2nd October 2018 Neighbourhoods, Housing and Public Realm City Policy Committee Report by Executive Director of Regeneration and the Economy Contact: Forbes Barron Ext: 76064 Central Govan Action Plan (CGAP) and Govan Cross Townscape Heritage Initiative (GCTHI) Annual Progress Report (Oct 17 to Sept 18) Purpose of Report: To highlight the annual progress and future plans of CGAP and GCTHI: two of the Council’s priority physical regeneration programmes in Govan. Recommendations: The Committee is asked to 1) Consider the annual progress and future plans of both initiatives. Ward No(s): 5 Govan Citywide: Local member(s) advised: Yes No consulted: Yes No PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Any Ordnance Survey mapping included within this Report is provided by Glasgow City Council under licence from the Ordnance Survey in order to fulfil its public function to make available Council-held public domain information.

The OS web site can be found at <http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk> " If accessing this Report via the Internet, please note that any mapping is for illustrative purposes only and is not true to any marked scale 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 Central Govan Action Plan (CGAP) is a community-led partnership and investment framework that has successfully guided the physical regeneration of Central Govan from the Plan’s initial launch in 2006 until the present day. Govan Cross Townscape Heritage Initiative (GCTHI) is an integral yet distinct part of the wider CGAP structure. It is a grant giving programme funded by Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), Historic Environment Scotland (HES) and Glasgow City Council (GCC), that aims to regenerate Govan town centre by investing to make the best of Govan’s exceptional historic built environment and to use local heritage as a vehicle for community learning and skills development. 1.2 The first five year phase of GCTHI operated from 2009-2015 and resulted in £4.3million investment levered into Govan. A second phase of GCTHI, this time including a Historic Environment Scotland (HES) funded Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (CARS), was launched in September 2016 running to 2021. Phase 2 is expected to lever £5.8million investment to the area, based on a Common Fund of £4.118m (HLF £1.8m, HES £1.0m and GCC £1.3m). 1.3 CGAP and GCTHI are widely regarded as being highly successful and are award winning. Both programmes have resulted in £90million investment to improve the local area since 2006, with investment resulting in new homes, business and community space in Govan as well as more attractive streets, shops and public space. 1.4 In the last year the CGAP Regeneration Strategy has firmly focused on realising the potential of Govan’s waterfront through the masterplanning of the strategically important Water Row site and the redevelopment of Govan Old as a major cultural destination and enterprise hub on the river’s edge. The restoration and re-use of the Lyceum, the implementation of active travel routes and delivery of the GCTHI/CARS Phase 2 programme are other key CGAP priorities. 2. Current Plans, Priorities and Progress 2.1 The CGAP Partnership is presently focused on the delivery of the following local priorities: Water Row – Over the last nine months, the Council, CGAP, Govan Housing Association and Collective Architecture have produced a masterplan for Water Row, which outlines a mixed use development providing 202 new homes mainly for mid-market rent and 3550sqm of commercial space. Aiming to be an exemplar in placemaking, the proposals will create an attractive destination and urban gateway at Water Row, capitalising on the proposed new Govan- Partick Bridge and emerging Waterfront Innovation Quarter to benefit Govan and the city. Proposals were developed through a participative, co-creative process involving both professionals and the community, a significant element 1 of which focused on the relocation of two Showpeople Yards currently located at Water Row. The Masterplan will be published at start of October 2018, further information here, and will be submitted thereafter for Planning Permission in Principle for the whole site. Meantime the design of Phase 1 (c.80 homes and 1,900sqm commercial space) has commenced to achieve ambitious housing completion targets of May 2021, supported by a commercial viability study funded by both the Council and Govan HA. Govan Old - The sensitive re-development of Govan Old, as a visitor centre showcasing the Govan Stones and as a local enterprise hub providing 800sqm of high quality commercial office space, will secure the future of this A-listed building and provide an important landmark and visitor destination for the vibrant riverside quarter emerging at Water Row. The proposals, led by Govan Heritage Trust, remain on track for a site start toward the end of 2018/19 and require £6million investment. Investment from GCC VDLF (£400k) and GCTHI (£566k) has enabled the project design to be developed to an advanced stage and integrated with the Water Row Masterplan. The Scottish Government awarded £1.9m Regeneration Capital Grant (RCGF) to the project in March 2018 with potential support from City Deal and other funding being raised to reach the funding target. Lyceum – CGAP has visibility of Govan Housing Association’s proposals to purchase the Lyceum, one of the last remaining 1930’s super cinemas in the UK, and bring it back into use for the benefit of the community as a community-owned concert and events venue. The B-listed building is poor and deteriorating condition. The building owner has not responded to an acquisition offer made by Govan HA in 2018 and further statutory action under planning and community empowerment legislation is being considered. 2.2 GCTHI has now completed the second year of its five-year Phase 2 Programme, which aims between 2016-2021 to achieve the following target outputs: 6 listed buildings repaired 1400m2 vacant historic floorspace returned to productive use 7 tenements and 45 shops repaired and improved 3 heritage features restored 1 public space improved at Govan Cross. 260 people develop new skills and/or employment opportunities 1,350 people directly engaged in heritage themed learning projects 2.3 Year 2 GCTHI progress highlights include: Four of the six targeted priority building repair projects are well advanced: Govan & Linthouse Ancillary Building achieved a site start in June 2018 and 883 Govan Road is expected to commence in Sept 2018. A significant cost savings exercise is underway on returned tenders for the former Hills Trust School and the conversion of the lower ground floor of Govan Old (to provide 300sqm of office space) is now moving into technical design stage with significant cost savings to achieve. The two remaining priority projects are to be initiated in autumn 2018. 2 The first phase of work to repair three tenements at Langlands Road is scheduled to commence on site in autumn 2018, following an interruption while high costs are resolved. The third and final phase of public realm improvement at Govan Cross was approved in April 2018, although the site start was subsequently postponed until January 2019 to facilitate the Contractor’s work programme. The £876K proposal includes new active travel infrastructure linking to the Govan Partick Bridge and is funded principally through GCC City Deal. GCTHI is funding improvements to the Govan Old entranceway and the Govan War Memorial, as well as facilitating community engagement opportunities including an archaeological dig that aims to increase visitor numbers to Govan Old. An £850K Traditional Shopfront Improvement Grant Scheme was successfully launched in October 2017 and has generated significant interest from shopowners. Phased delivery is now underway, with 28 shops in Phase 1 currently moving toward making design team appointments. The first site starts are expected from April 2019 onwards. A number of community learning and training projects have been delivered with notable highlights including a songwriting project and series of concerts that introduced a new audience to Govan Old, and the placement of four apprentices with John Fulton Plumbers. New initiatives continue to be developed including a community archaeological dig at Govan Old, events and interpretation linked to the Elder Park Gates restoration, as well as heritage themed youth diversionary activity. 3.0 Policy & Resource Implications Resource Implications: Financial: The total value of the GCTHI common fund is £4.118 million. The Council contribution is £1.330 million approved at Executive Committee Sept 2016. The Executive Director DRS has delegated authority to approve individual project grant awards as per the agreed THI Programme. The total remaining CGAP budget is £0.941m. Funds are committed with awards over £50k are subject to City Administration Committee Approval. Legal: External GCTHI funding is subject of legal agreements with HLF and HES. Grant offers to third parties are subject to legal agreements reflecting the requirements of all funding partners. Personnel: Two members of staff from DRS are employed to oversee the delivery of the GCTHI Phase 2 and CGAP programmes with 1 CBS support. Procurement: GCC will carry out all appropriate procedures relating to sustainable procurement and Article 19 3 for those projects where the Council is the owner, in this instance the proposed public space improvements. The THI mainly administers grant to third parties and the onus on procurement passes to the grant applicant, although the Council will insist on competitive procurement and will encourage sustainable practices in building repair. Council Strategic Plan: CGAP and GCTHI will deliver: Strong resilient neighbourhoods and communities; effective use of our cultural assets and heritage; a broad based and more integrated economy; better skills for Glaswegians to create a more confident and competitive workforce.

  • Parkhead, Dalmarnock and Camlachie Thriving Place
    P arkhead, Dalmarnock and Camlachie Thriving Place October 2017 Welcome to Parkhead, Dalmarnock and Camlachie Thriving Place Thriving Places was introduced in Parkhead, Dalmarnock and Camlachie 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 the right places to meet local needs. A Community Organiser was recruited in October 2014 to help local communities get involved in Thriving Places. As such, the work is just ending its third year. This 10-year plan will tell you more about what Thriving Places is doing in Parkhead, Dalmarnock and Camlachie. 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 Parkhead, Dalmarnock and Camlachie Steering Group and we are keen for local people to join too. This plan should be relevant for people who live and work in the local area and there are plenty of opportunities to be involved in different ways.
