2019-20 Strathbungo Society Annual Report and Accounts were approved at the AGM and have now been submitted to the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator.
We have amalgated a series of posts into one, so you can follow the development, or jump straight to the latest update. Older posts on the subject can also be found by searching the site for “Network Rail”.
In September 2019 Network Rail notified residents along the East Kilbride line of vegetation management work. Past experience, notably in 2005, and current experience elsewhere around Glasgow, suggested “slash and burn”, or more correctly “slash and chip” approach was to be used, clearing all vegetation with little consideration for wildlife, biodiversity or environmental damage, as rail safety was prioritised above all else.
The Strathbungo Society’s AGM will be held at 7.30pm on 17th November 2020.
Inevitably the event will be held online via Zoom this year. Everyone is welcome to join in, hear about Society activities during the year, hear about some local projects on “Greening Strathbungo” from the new Strathbungo Eco group, and maybe join in and help out yourself. We are always looking for new people and new ideas.
Register here now, and we will email you the link to join the meeting nearer the time. Advance registration is essential.
The annual report and accounts are available to view now, as are the draft minutes of last year’s AGM. They will be presented at the AGM.
(Latest Update on 19 July 2020: NR’s second response, background on electrification)
Only a couple of weeks ago we were concerned that Network Rail were restarting tree felling along the railway line, and sought assurances that they would abide by previous agreements. They replied to reasssure us that they would. There remains a certain lack of trust around what Network Rail say, and what they do, so perhaps this was a sign of progress.
Jump forward to this week and we discover that, without any consultation with anyone, Network Rail were to demolish the old Strathbungo Station booking hall (more recently Susie’s Shop) on 18-19 July.
The latest newsletter has arrived. You can read it here. I’m unsure if it will make it through your door this time around given current social distancing restrictions.
You can also find it, and old newsletters back to the 1990s, at the BygoneBungo Newsletter Archive.

Could you give us half an hour of your time to help with the Brighter Bungo back lanes clear-up?
The next clear-up is on Sunday 19th January between 11 – 1pm – find us outside the old Sammy Dows on Nithsdale Road. It’s a dead easy way to do your bit for the community you live in, plus get to know a few more neighbours. Kids love to get a grabber in their hands, so it’s a perfect family activity. The January clear up especially needs all hands on deck as we cope with the aftermath of disrupted New Year bin collections and the overflow that results from the festivities.
All equipment is provided.
Come join the celebration of the New Year at Strathbungo’s traditional Hogmanay street party.
Parade through the streets around 11.30 to meet at the corner of Moray Place and Queen Square before the countdown, and stay for the music, to meet friends, have a drink and a dance. Bring your own refreshments. A little whisky and shortbread will also be available on the Society stall.
