Bungo Clean Up

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!

Parking Update

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.
