Deanpark Gardens RENFREW Deanpark Gardens RENFREW A thoughtfully-designed development of 3, 4, 5 and 6 bedroom family homes A wonderful place to call home Inspired by the best historic towns and villages in Scotland, we at Stewart Milne Homes ensure that the new communities we create instil their best principles, combining the finest place-making values from the past with contemporary house styles to suit the needs of today’s modern family. As you arrive home to Deanpark Gardens, a landscaped green and tree-lined avenue establishes a welcoming entrance, creating a sense of space and grandeur. Our innovative approach to street design, with lanes and courtyards designed to encourage drivers to slow down, ensures that the modern requirements for the car are accommodated whilst not allowing vehicles to dominate, creating safe routes to school and places to play for children. A village green in its heart includes a small play area, encouraging children and parents to foster the new community. As Deanpark Gardens occupies a high profile within the town, being on one of its main routes, we have fronted many of the homes onto – but stepped back from – Glasgow Road, to present a proud edge to the development and a new gateway into Renfrew whilst creating quiet secluded private gardens to the rear. Mature pines on the corner are being retained to establish a sense of the site’s proud heritage. A wide selection of styles, varied alignment of houses and attractive mixture of materials all combine to create diverse streetscapes and a true sense of the individual, so that you can live in a home which feels uniquely yours. You’ll be as proud living at Deanpark Gardens as we have been creating it. 1 Nothing beats coming home to Deanpark Gardens Despite its proximity to the best leisure, shopping, employment and transport facilities that Scotland has to offer by being on the edge of the direct arterial route into Renfrew and Braehead, an oasis is being created at Deanpark Gardens where secure gardens, pockets of landscape, open space and natural traffic-calming will allow homeowners’ children to play outside their homes.

    A898 100 Erskine Bridge Temporary Closure of Bridge Footpaths / Cycletracks Consultations 09/SW/1203/001 November 2009 Service is our passion. People, our strength Management and Maintenance of the Scottish Trunk Road Network 09/SW/1203/001 A898 100 Erskine Bridge Temporary Closure of Bridge Footpaths/Cycletracks Consultations EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The recent tragic deaths of two teenage girls on 4th October 2009 have once again brought suicides at Erskine Bridge back into focus. On 16th October there was a further male suicide. In particular, Clydebank Community Council has strongly recommended that the bridge footpaths and cyclepaths be closed until enhanced suicide prevention measures are installed. As a result Transport Scotland instructed Amey to carry out consultations with relevant parties to ascertain their views on temporary closing the Erskine Bridge footpaths and cycletracks. This consultation process identified: • Despite the pedestrian/cyclist survey being carried out during poor Oct/Nov weather, it demonstrated a demand for use of the footpaths and cycletracks on the bridge. This demand is likely to be greater during summer months. • All 6 parties/organisations contacted (councils, police, sustainable transport and cycling groups) are strongly opposed to a temporary closure of the footpaths and cycletracks on the bridge. • One of the main points raised by the cycling groups was that a diversion of approximately 22km involving riding on some very busy roads would be completely unacceptable. The same diversion would apply to pedestrians. • Strathclyde Police would not support, nor be able to man the temporary closure of the footpaths and cycletracks. • Closure of the footways/cycletracks is likely to result in non-compliance of the restrictions and increased risk exposure to regular non-motorised users and other road traffic (i.e.

  • A Short History of the Glasgow Humane Society Complete with Contextual Historical Events, Newspaper and Minute Articles
    THE GLASGOW HUMANE SOCIETY A Short History of the Glasgow Humane Society Complete with contextual historical events, newspaper and minute articles Dr George G. Parsonage, MBE 8/1/2016 The following gives an idea of what the world was like at the end of the 1700’s, it tells of the foundation of the Glasgow Humane Society, of the Awards and Gifts given to the Society and of some of the main occurrences in its development. 1. The Glasgow Humane Society and Enlightenment: The Spirit of an Age The Glasgow Humane Society was set up by members of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow at some point in the 1790s. This period marked the latter stages of what has been came to be termed as the ‘Enlightenment’ or ‘Enlightenment movement’ by historians and other scholars alike. It is notable for many features but for the Glasgow Humane Society’s purpose it can be seen as a time when the influence of scholars and philosophers such as Descartes, Newton, Kant, Goethe, Voltaire, Rousseau, and Adam Smith – to name but a few – created in Europe a temperament in man for reason and self- improvement and moving away from religious intolerance and ignorance. At this previous time if you fell (or jumped) into a waterway and were in danger of drowning seldom would anyone go to your assistance. In the eyes of the church, if you attempted to take your own life, as many who jumped into the river no doubt had in mind, you were to end up in hell and suffer eternal damnation.

  • Yoker – Renfrew Ferry Service Noted – Instruction to the Executive Director of Corporate Services
    Yoker – Renfrew Ferry Service noted – Instruction to the Executive Director of Corporate Services. 10 The committee heard a presentation by Clyde Link outlining its Yoker to Renfrew ferry service on the River Clyde, advising that (1) Clyde Link was a part of the Silvers Marine Group and was formed in 2010 to provide Waterbus services throughout Scotland; (2) passenger numbers on the ferry service had risen compared with the Strathclyde Passenger Transport average, in the first 6 weeks of Clyde Link operating the service; (3) when the new ferry service started there were more passengers travelling from the Renfrew side of the River Clyde but this had settled over recent weeks with 51% to 53% of passengers originating in Yoker; (4) the “Silver Swan” was now used to transport passengers, a new boat which had undercover seating, heating, storage for pushchairs/bikes and was capable of servicing other locations on the river; (5) the environment around the slipway at Yoker required to be improved; (6) better road signage would increase awareness of the ferry service; (7) Clyde Link was supportive of a cohesive River Strategy in Glasgow; and (8) Clyde Link, as an employer, was not eligible to participate in Glasgow City Council’s Apprenticeship Scheme as employment with the company did not lead to educational qualifications. Following discussion, the committee (a) noted that (i) Clyde Link had installed a new shelter at the Yoker Terminal; (ii) every 2 tides washed up approximately 1 to1½ tonnes of litter at the Yoker terminal which Clyde Link
