Here are the results of our previous survey, updated for the february purple bin collection.
We tweaked the question based on feedback from our last effort, and grouped responses by lane rather than by street.
The results from January seem fairly positive. Lower figures for brown bins may reflect those not putting their bin out or not having a brown bin permit. We will accommodate this option in future surveys.
For the purple collection, it took place on the correct day this time. Two bins were reported missed in Queen Sq/Marywood and two in Marywood Sq/Vennard.

The Society has set up a simple bin survey to better understand problems in the Strathbungo neighbourhood. The last collection this month is today, Tuesday 28th. So tell us which bins were collected this month by following the link (five questions only).
Meanwhile, some have been confused regarding the collection dates, and the council website is currently only showing brown and purple dates. So here’s a copy of a 2025 calendar for Strathbungo. Download it here.

MESSAGE SENT ON BEHALF OF ANDREW BEGLIN,
GROUP MANAGER – PARKING SERVICES
NEIGHBOURHOODS, REGENERATION AND SUSTAINABILITY
Dear Member,
I can advise that we will be undertaking high priority roadmarking refurbishment works on Pollokshaws Road between Allison Street and Minard Road in January. These works will also include Minard Road, Abbot Street and a short section of Langside Avenue will also be undertaken between Pollokshaws Road and Tantallon Road.
Works will commence on Tuesday 7 January 2025 between Marywood Square and Springhill Gardens with further sections being undertaken each week thereafter. These works are dependent on favourable weather conditions, but we are hopeful these works will be completed by the end of January.
To facilitate the works, temporary restrictions and lane closures will be in place and will be managed by the Councils appointed traffic management contractor who will be present on site for the majority of the roadmarking works. These works will inevitably cause some disruption until they are complete. SPT have also been advised of the programmed works.
A letter drop is being carried out to notify residents and businesses of the pending works (attached below) in addition to advanced notice signs, temporary restriction notices, yellow parking suspension boards and yellow “No Loading” cones. Parking Attendants will also carry out enforcement of the temporary restrictions for the duration of the works to mitigate obstructive parking which could delay progress.
I trust this is of assistance at this time.
Andrew Beglin

Update
The display boards from the first consultation are available to download (pdf).
Following feedback the plans will be developed further prior to the next meeting in February.
As someone who has his own pick up stick to clear litter from the area around the bins at the bottom of the QS/RPS back lane I would love to join the Bungo Clean Ups that you organise. However, it always happens 11-1 on Sunday, which is just when I am in church! Could you vary the times a bit, so I can both help clean up Strathbungo and worship? Cleanliness is next to godliness!
