2. Easterhouse Thriving Place Dates Activity

2016-17 Easterhouse Charrette: Chance for Change

Developed brief and secured funding from the Scottish Government and DRS to carry out the Charrette. Appointed consultants; engaged with community; produced report.

The Easterhouse Town Centre Charrette was structured with 5 weeks of advance engagement based in the Shandwick Centre leading up to a 4 day series of public workshops in June 2017. As an overview, 634 people were spoken to on an individual basis and had direct input in the advance engagement and 214 people took part in the workshop sessions, with roughly a further 100 people dropping in for short periods. The Easterhouse Town Centre Charrette was very well attended and the level of engagement from the community and stakeholders was strong. A series of issues were raised very clearly and there was broad consensus on necessary actions, arising through dialogue involving both the community and key stakeholders. Following the workshops and associated exhibition, the action points were written up in a discussion paper and circulated to key delivery agencies in early August 2017. Commitments for action were sought from the key delivery agencies who were invited to attend and make a public statement outlining their proposed next steps at a community meal which took place on 31st August 2017. The charrette process, its outcomes and findings, including the collated action points are contained in a final report.

Community Safety and the Environment consultation In June 2018 Community Safety Glasgow in partnership with the Community, Glasgow City Council, The Staff and Pupils from Aultmore Park Primary School, St Benedicts and Oakwood Primary School, Scottish Fire and Rescue, , Glasgow Kelvin College and Glasgow Community Planning Partnership, Thriving Places, Platform and Elected Members delivered a two day consultation within Platform in Easterhouse. The consultation consisted of two strands, face to face community surveys and participatory appraisal consultations which included a show and tell from local primary schools and a talking wall. During the successful consultations days over 236 individuals completed a survey either face to face or interactively online. In total there was over 4000 households within the Thriving Place area invited to get involved and make their views on Community Safety and Environment known. In addition to this, during consultation days in compliance with GDPR regulations all individuals who were surveyed face to face were invited to opt in to be part of the wider community group who would drive forward the Community Safety and Environment Agenda for Easterhouse, 49 people opted to be part of this process. Following the consultation phase Officers, Elected Members and members of the community met to discuss some of the key issues that had been raised by the community during the two day surveys to determine what should happen next. At this point there was minimal involvement from the 49 community residents who were invited to be involved. After consideration between all parties it was determined that an operation week of action should be undertaken by all agencies and this would be underpinned and driven by the survey results taken from the consultation phase. ‘You Said and We Did’ During the consultation residents told us about streets that were dirty, where bins were broken or missing, concerns about crime, overgrown or areas of derelict land, litter, dog fouling, neighbour issues, fly-tipping, pot holes, speeding vehicles and concerns relating to park refurbishment. This resulted in a Week of Action which took place from 19 October until 25 October 2018. Examples of the type of work delivered is noted as follows:-  Community Safety Glasgow Community Enforcement Officers issued 14 Fixed Penalty Notices in the area for Dog Fouling and Litter.  Daily hi visibility mobile CCTV patrols were deployed into the area to provide public reassurance.  Public Space CCTV in the area was a conduit between all agencies directing services and monitoring for Criminality and antisocial behaviour. NIES (Neighbourhood Information and Enforcements Services) within CSG provided support and clean up equipment to support the following schools and nursery to carry out clean ups in the area:-

 Lochview Nursery 19th November AM - 11 Participants (8 children 3 Adults)  Lochview Nursery 19th November PM - 11 Participants (8 children 3 Adults)  Oakwood Primary 22nd November AM – 24 Participants (22 pupils 2 Adults)  St Benedict’s Primary 22nd November PM – 27 Participants (26 pupils 1 Adult)  St Clare’s Nursery will participate in a clean up in the near future.

In addition to this our NIES Team visited Easterhouse Phoenix, Easterhouse Parish Church, Lochend Deli, One o One Off License, USave, Lloyds Pharmacy and The Connie Centre who all agreed to carry out clean ups outside their premises and were provided with refuse bags and litter pickers. It is worth noting that The Connie Centre actively carry out regular community based clean ups and now have a stock of their own equipment to do so.

After the ‘Week of Action’ various local groups, schools and businesses participated in ‘Giving an hour for Easterhouse and this took place on 7 November 2018 and was extremely successful with participation from Thistle Nursery, McDonalds Staff, St Benedicts Primary School , Glasgow Kelvin College and Buchlyvie Nursery.

Public Health within Neighbourhoods and Sustainability in Glasgow City Council investigated concerns relating to fly-tipping which included back court issues, dumped tyres and oil drums. These matters resulted in:-  Formal correspondence being sent to a Suspected individual responsible for dumping waste at Ervie Street  Contractors being commissioned to clear up extensive back court dumping within 7 Dunphail Street.  Netherhouse Road, a specialist contractor who investigates Asbestos has been notified and dumped Oil Drums will be removed by Neighbourhood and Sustainability Cleansing along with tyres dumped under the M73.  Abandoned Caravan at Balcurvie Road has had Notice served on it.  23 Bags of refuse were investigated during these investigations and site visits. A vital part of improving any community is to clean it and maintain it and as requested by the residents surveyed the following sites received the following large pieces of work which was carried out in partnership with CSG Community Payback Clients and Neighbourhoods and Sustainability Parks Department.  Fly Tipping removed from Commonhead School Site. Overhanging/encroaching branches around the perimeter fence was cleared and tidied along with a perimeter meter strim followed by a general de-litter and tidy.  Self ‘Seeder’ foliage and branch debris was removed from Lochdochart Road along with a general tidy up.  Perimeter Strim from the fence to pathway was carried out at Dubton Pathway along with a cutback of overhanging branches and foliage encroaching fences at Wardie Road along with a scrape back and clearing of pavements.  All Streets were mechanically swept and all debris/fly-tipping identified was removed.  All local park areas were de littered and arrangements have been made to identify replacement equipment or refurbishment appropriate to future plans for these areas, this has been referred to Neighbourhood and Sustainability Design Team for future consideration.  Site visits to identify the need for replacement bins and to replace broken bins took place. This matter is being dealt with by the ongoing Citywide Survey being carried out by the Neighbourhood and Sustainability Transformation Team. Police Scotland carried out a comprehensive public reassurance campaign which responded to community and resident concerns about illegal parking at schools, street drinking, drugs misuse, and general crime. During the week of action officers were dedicated to the area and were deployed to various locations for the purpose of:-  Engagement - In Excess of 250 pupils and staff were visited at schools in the area. 100 people were engaged with at Business premises. Daily high visibility public reassurance patrols took place within the area. Daily stalls to discuss and show the pitfalls of illicit trade and counterfeit goods these were placed at the Lochs and Fort Shopping areas with several hundred people engaging with officers throughout the week of action.  16 people were warned including 2 licensed taxi drivers in relation to irresponsible parking outside school premises. As expected the inconsiderate parking and general issues with vehicles outside the schools did improve due to the presence of police officers daily outside the premises.  An individual was charged by Police with a moving road traffic offence.

Scottish Fire and Rescue visited various streets throughout the week of action and engaged with residents and community groups the following was achieved:-  Leaflet drops took place within Denmilne Street, Lentran Street and Finlarig Street.  117 Home Fire Safety Visit leaflets were distributed over the week.  A Fire and Rescue Appliance was placed strategically into the area within streets where concerns about traditional cooking in back court areas had been taking place to encourage engagement and communication with local residents.  59 occupants were engaged with face to face and given fire safety advice. The three local primary schools delivered a ‘show and tell’ through Art during the two day consultation and as a result of this one piece of Art has been chosen at random to be transferred and wrapped over 6 large new bins which will be placed outside the three primary schools in the area and an additional bin will be placed outside the ‘Lochs’ shopping Centre. The week of action was well received by the community and has provided a foundation to build on in terms of future proposals, plans and sustainability during the regeneration plans for the area.
