The second public consultation event in relation to the proposed development at the Former Crossmyloof Care Home, 80 Titwood Road, Glasgow, G41 2DJ, will now take place on Thursday 7th August 2025 between 2pm – 7pm at Queen’s Park Baptist Church (The Point), Thornwood Suite, 180 Queen’s Drive, Glasgow, G42 8QD.
This is prior to submission of the formal planning application.
Members of the project team will be available to answer any questions on the day of the event, similarly a dedicated email has been set up for any online enquiries – titwoodroad@iceniprojects.com.
Big changes are coming to Strathbungo! Have your say!
We have got wind of an upcoming council proposal, due in late August, that will likely propose major changes to the roads, and the bins, in the area. The aim is to tackle three problems:
1. How to introduce the pavement parking ban (our exemption is only temporary)
2. How to introduce a residents’ parking permit scheme
3. How to improve bin collection, possibly by using on-road communal collection points
The Society hopes to influence any plans for the better when they come, but we realise opinions vary.
Note: The survey has now closed. Results will appear on bungoblog.com in due course. Thanks for all the responses.
A huge thanks to all the Society members who put months of planning in to this year’s event, the volunteers who helped setup, steward, and take down, the imaginative stall holders, the musicians, and everyone who came along to make the event another great success. Here’s a few random snaps of the day, with thanks to Roberto Cavieres.

The event will be on Saturday 21st June 2025, 1-5pm.
See the regular back Lanes pages for more info, and get planning.
Saturday 31 May 11am – 1pm
Could you spare a half hour to help clear up our back lanes on Saturday 31 May between 11 and 1? We will be outside Bossa on Nithsdale Road for the duration, ready to hand out litter pickers, gloves and black bags, (Glasgow City Council will collect them on Monday).
Please note, we are swapping to a Saturday, so let’s see how that goes. We had such a great turnout for our November clear up. Somehow an unglamorous activity on a cold damp morning felt like a nice family event thanks to the enthusiasm of the volunteers. Children and dogs welcome.
Fingers crossed for another successful clear up, especially with Bungo in the Back Lanes fast approaching (Saturday 21 June). Please join us; a little help makes a big difference.
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.
