Traffic disruption

6th January 2025 / / 1 Comment

Expect traffic disruption over the next few weeks…

OFFICIAL

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.

Councillor Molyneux has tipped us off about some upcoming pre-planning public consultation by the developer Westpoint Homes. So if you want to see what Westpoint are planning, and wish to comment, get yourself along to one of the events.

In line with The Town and Country Planning (Pre-Application Consultation) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2021, two statutory consultations will take place in relation to this project, both at Thornwood Hall, in The Point, the Queens Park Baptist Church community centre at 180 Queens Drive.

  • Wednesday 5th February, 2-7pm

Feedback forms will be available at the first in-person event which can be completed and submitted to the project team until 25th December 2024.

The above consultation events will be advertised in the Glasgow Times a minimum of 7 days prior to each event taking place. Notified parties will receive correspondence confirming these details in advance.

Bungo Clean Up

6th November 2024 / / 2 Comments

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!

Strathbungo Society AGM 2024

25th October 2024 / / 1 Comment

The AGM of the Strathbungo Society will be on Tuesday 12th November. The event is again in Queens Park Church of Scotland over on Queens Drive, and will begin at 7.30pm. Doors will be open from 7.15pm, with tea and coffee available beforehand and wine afterwards.  Do come and meet fellow residents of the area.

The principal business of the evening will be the Society’s report and accounts for the year. We will also welcome speakers from the Queen’s Park Neighbourhood Plan.

As noted in our last newsletter, this is a collaborative initiative by the neighbouring Community Councils for Shawlands & Strathbungo and Langside, Camphill & Battlefield that kicked off its work in May 2024, and you can hear of public consultation and survey results and progress to date..

Society Documents here:

We are always looking for new blood on the committee. Every community organisation needs to reflect the diversity of the people living in the area, and always needs a variety of different talents to make the machine work. We meet 10 times a year, in the den of The Bungo Bar on Nithsdale Road, and you can contribute as much or as little as you like, according to your interests and skills. Beyond committee work, we also need volunteers to take part in Bungo Cleanups, to help organise local events like Bungo in the Back Lanes, or even introduce new ideas for other events. Have you any time that you can give to your local community? Have you new ideas, but need some help to get them going?

The Society is only as strong as those who contribute, so it needs your support.

Please contact us for further information, before, during or after the event.

Parking Update

5th June 2024 / / 1 Comment

Cllr Ghani has passed on a communication from council officers on the enforcement of the ban on pavement parking. It clarfies the council’s current position very well.

Essentially they have divided Glasgow’s roads up into ones where they will enforce the ban, becasue there is no issue (e.g. Pollokshields Road, Titwood Road) and those where they will defer enforcement while further work is undertaken (e.g. most of Strathbungo’s Squares and Gardens).

Our interpretation is that pavement parking will remain technically illegal, but there will be no enforcement, and no further nagging warning notes, until further notice, on roads coloured green. I suspect that might be for quite a while given the scale of the task.

Note there are some exceptions. The ban will be enforced on Titwood Road, Nitshdale Street, and at some of the entrances to the Squares, where the road is wider. Check the map; purple streets will have the ban enforced, green will not.
