The efforts undertaken will be assessed against the project aims outlined in the original Landfill Communities Fund application. Project Background Since July 2009, the Living Water Project has been working to create and enhance standing open water habitats in the Glasgow City Council district. This first phase of the project was extremely successful, creating 20 new ponds and enhancing 27 existing ponds on 14 sites across the city. In addition, the project conducted 20 amphibian surveys and attended 15 events to raise awareness of amphibian conservation in Glasgow. Phase one of the project came to an end in October 2011 and its success was recognised when it was ‘highly commended’ in the ‘rebuilding biodiversity’ category at the 2012 Biffawards. Glasgow Living Water Project Phase Two --- Specific Aims Due to the success of the first phase of the Glasgow Living Water Project, an application was made to Glasgow City Council Landfill Communities Fund to extend our work to 6 new sites within the district. The application was successful and project work began on the new sites in June 2012. The new sites are: Queens Park, Hurlethill, Bishops Loch, Festival Park, Bellahouston Walled Garden and Mansewood Park Allotments. The aims of the project remain the same, with the primary objective being to create and restore standing open water habitats on the new sites. Specific aims: • Improve a number of identified neglected habitats. • Create new aquatic and terrestrial habitats. • Provide volunteers with practical training. • Use demonstration sites to show examples of best practice. Glasgow Living Water Project Phase 2 End Report June 2012 – May 2014 Page 4 • Promote the biodiversity value of standing water habitats, primarily ponds, amongst a wide range of individuals. • Encourage, support and provide advice to local residents on creating water habitats in gardens, parks, allotments etc. Glasgow Living Water Project Phase 2 End Report June 2012 – May 2014 Page 5 Project Summary: Aims & Achievements Aims Achievement Summary Create new aquatic and Pond creation works were conducted at 4 of the 6 project terrestrial habitats sites as per the work schedule. In total, 12 ponds were created at project sites. 1 pond was created at Mansewood Park Allotments, 1 pond was created at Bellahouston Walled Garden, 6 ponds were created at Hurlethill (4 large ponds and 2 small ponds) and 4 ponds were excavated at Bishops Loch – all to best practice guidelines for pond creation for amphibians. In addition, 3 temporary shallow scrapes were created by volunteers at Hurlethill and 1 scrape was created at Bishops Loch. Ponds and scrapes were also created at non-project sites through volunteer efforts – in total 3 ponds and 9 scrapes were created by hand. Hibernation sites were created across the project sites with 3 hibernation sites created at Hurlethill, 1 at Bellahouston Walled Garden, 1 at Bishops Loch and 2 at Mansewood Park Allotments. 3 hibernation sites were also created through volunteer efforts at 3 non-project sites in Glasgow. Improve a number of Pond enhancement was a significant part of the project as identified habitats for many sites were established areas in urban environments. amphibians In total 3 ponds were enhanced on Glasgow phase 2 project sites. 2 of these ponds were enhanced at Festival Park and 1 was enhanced at Queens Park. All of the project sites had improvements and enhancements throughout the project (including repairs, litter-picking and planting sessions) which are detailed in the individual site progress reports. Several non-project sites also received pond and terrestrial improvements by volunteer teams which are detailed in the ‘volunteer and community involvement’ section. Glasgow Living Water Project Phase 2 End Report June 2012 – May 2014 Page 6 In total, 16 days were undertaken, t hese include 6 sessions to enhance and improve 6 ponds. 10 sessions were also held to improve habitats at non-project sites and are detailed further within the report – in total work was undertaken across 11 non-project sites. Provide volunteers with Phase 2 of the project has delivered 13 training sessions practical training in Glasgow, in total training 126 participants. These have included 2 pond creation training courses, 6 amphibian survey technique training courses, 1 training course on reptile surveys and 5 aquatic invertebrate training courses. Volunteer days have been on-going throughout the project, with volunteers invited to attend practical volunteer days, event days and survey nights. These days allow volunteers to gain hands on experience in a variety of fields, including practical conservation, public engagement and surveying skills. Over the course of the project, a total of 221 volunteers received hands-on training across all disciplines.

  • Our Local Plan at GHA for the Next Five Years
    Glasgow Housing Association Investing In Our Futures www.gha.org.uk Our local plan at GHA for the next five years For Pollokshaws, Eastwood, Mansewood, Auldhouse, Shawlands and Crossmyloof GHA’s new five-year strategy, ‘Investing In Our Futures’, has been shaped by listening to feedback from our tenants about what is important to them. This leaflet tells you what this means for you and your local area between now and 2020. It sets out what local people told us their priorities were and what we plan to do in your community over the next five years. This leaflet covers the communities of Pollokshaws, Eastwood, Mansewood, Auldhouse, Shawlands and Crossmyloof. What you told us In developing this plan we engaged with tenants on their priorities during our customer conversations. We heard feedback on the need to continue to invest in our homes and communities, particularly for tenants who have not had external improvements due to sharing blocks with owners. Some tenants raised concerns about their neighbourhood, for example people wrongly believe there are higher levels of anti-social behavior. Other issues included the diverse range of people moving into areas/blocks since the new allocation policy was introduced. This was particularly the case for blocks which included many older people – for example the Cartcraigs multi and at Hillpark. This has been highlighted in our action plan. Better homes, better lives Other themes included environmental issues, soundproofing, repairs and maintenance, fuel poverty, rent levels and house sizes - particularly in Hillpark. Again, these issues have been prioritised in our action plan. Potential tenants told us during Housing Options interviews their priorities when deciding where they wanted to live included: • the condition of the house • safety and security • a clean and tidy environment • what the neighbourhood is like • the school catchment area and transport links • local connection to the area.

The city of Glasgow was, quite literally, built on its geology – it may even have been named after one of its rocky features. The geological history of the Glasgow area can be read in the rocks and sediments exposed within the city, from the streams to the buildings and bridges. In 2013 the British Geological Survey Quarrying and building stone conducted a Geodiversity Audit of Sandstones in the Carboniferous sedimentary rocks in the Glasgow the City of Glasgow for Glasgow City area were commonly quarried for Council to identify and describe the building stone.

Executive Summary The City of Glasgow has a long tradition in the pursuit of a high quality built environment and public realm, continuing to the present day. This strategy represents the next steps in this tradition by setting out how open space should be planned, created, enhanced and managed in order to meet the priorities for Glasgow for the 21st century. This is not just an open space strategy. It is a cross‐cutting vision for delivering a high quality environment that supports economic vitality, improves the health of Glasgow’s residents, provides opportunities for low carbon movement, builds resilience to climate change, supports ecological networks and encourages community cohesion. This is because, when planned well, open space can provide multiple functions that deliver numerous social, economic and environmental benefits. Realising these benefits should be undertaken in a way that is tailored to the needs of the City. As such, this strategy examines the priorities Glasgow has set out and identifies six cross‐cutting strategic priority themes for how open space can contribute to meeting them.
