Society sends 12-point discussion document to Glasgow Land Services

After detailed discussion within the Committee, the Strathbungo Society has now sent Glasgow Land Services an overview of many of the traffic and access issues that our neighbourhood faces.

This follows a positive and very encouraging meeting in late 2005 with Land Services Director Robert Booth, who requested our comments. We understand that this discussion document will provide the basis for officials to draw up draft proposals.

The aim would then be to consult with the wider community, possibly by way of a public meeting organised by the Strathbungo Society, to come to an agreed view of any works that may be required, according to Society Chairman Kevin Kane.

Among the points being considered:
20’s plenty scheme
road signage upgrading
street lighting: conservation lamp standards and switch to white lighting
convex (angled) parking and painted bays at Nithsdale Road
problems at the junction of Nithsdale Road / Nithsdale Street and back lanes
reinstitute no right-turn from Nithsdale Road into Moray Place
Moray Place one-way restriction (section between numbers 1 to 10)
hedges restricting pedestrian access to pavements
access difficulties for emergency services and cleansing vehicles
closure of lanes at Regent Park Square and Nithsdale Road
pilot proposal to upgrade to an adoptable standard the northern lane between Marywood Square and Queen Square
recycling.

We will keep you informed as the discussion with Land Services evolves.
