Brighter Bungo is a new group looking for volunteers to help keep the back lanes and streets of Strathbungo rubbish free!

If you’d like to help out on a regular basis (all equipment will be provided), or you would just like to support us, please contact Laura at laura@scottandlaura.co.uk.

I live at 4 Marywood Square. There is a sewage drain under the lane that runs down the side of my building. This drain has become broken and consequently the waste water has nowhere to go but to seep into my downstairs neighbour’s garden. As you can imagine this is not ideal. The water board have said it is the responsibility of whoever owns the lane to repair it. The land owner dept in the council have told me that the lanes are commonly owned but could not be more specific, although the chap suspected the owners would be all of Marywood and Queen Square. He said I would need the titles deeds to be sure who was responsible. Does anyone have easy access to their title deeds. Mine are deposited with the land registry. This problem requires urgent attention. My neighbour has already had a quote for the cose of repairs and it is approx £1,000. Not too bad when split between a number of residents.

Large quantity of excellent quality compost; in new rubble sacks, approx 15-20Kg £2 ea. You can uplift by car yourself;
A stairclimbing sack trolley is available if you are “just along the road”, or I will deliver using my own van by arrangement.
*Small fee applies for handling & delivery. It is extremely heavy after all! Share a delivery with a neighbour. Dark brown,crumbly and odour-free, the compost is excellent for use as a clay soil improver, for tubs etc. Half is already gone, so be quick!!

The Master Composters will be holding a training session for volunteers at The Hidden Gardens on Wed 15th April between 3 – 6pm. If anyone would like to come along to learn more about the programme, about composting or about volunteering to help us spread the word on home composting, I would love to hear from you.

The session will cover how to compost successfully, the benefits of composting to the environment and to local communities and how to deal with issues about your compost from ‘concerned’ neighbours.

If you would like to come along then please get in touch with me on mastercomposter@thewisegroup.co.uk or 0141 314 1450 and I will book you a place.

Thanks

Brian

When I say “home”, I actually mean the South Side.

Having moved away several years ago for a bout of country living, we’re looking to move back and are actively looking at property within Strathbungo.

With that being the case, is there any parent / toddler groups handy (my wife is pregnant) etc, to help integrate into the local community.

Looking through the website, it appears that Strathbungo is like a wee village within the South Side!

Hello – just wanted to flag up our website to you – Towards Transition Glasgow – we are trying to connect people across Glasgow to prepare for a low carbon future. Would appreciate it if you could flag the site up to your members.
We have also just put together a group to look after the two orchards in Queens Park.
Cheers
Neil

If you have had a leaflet through your door today (24th feb) or recently asking you to leave out unwanted items for them to collect whereupon they will pass them on to the needy, I looked them up on the internet and it appears that they do no such thing.

Check out this link, this link and further this Guardian Newspaper link for more information.

Please pass this on.
