You might have noticed the consultation on the neighbouring Langside, Battlefield, Mount Florida, King’s Park & Toryglen Liveable Neighbourhoods. This year it is likely to be the turn of Strathbungo and Shawlands to be consulted in this way as the Glasgow City Council works its way across the city. This is a key opportunity to tell the council what the current problems are and what our hopes and dreams for the future of Strathbungo and the surrounding area are.
If we submit our best ideas, some of them might get funded and there is also the possibility that this consultation could lead to a Local Place Plan. This would give the agreed hopes and dreams of residents the full force of planning law and so bring them about through future developments.
While this consultation is still unconfirmed and months away, the time to get thinking is now. What do you want fixed? What do you want to change? What do you want to keep? How can we build an even better Strathbungo?
I may be late to this, but has there been any discussion of ways in which the Strathbungo community could play a role in tackling climate change? I’m thinking in terms of cars, parking, charging points for electric vehicles, delivery vans and collection points, and ways in which people could work together on improved home insulation and reduced energy use for heating.
Hello Douglas Fraser, Yes definitely. The Eco Group is interested in all of these things and this consultation is definitely part of the way we do all those things.
Traffic calming on Titwood Road – too many drivers use it (i.e. ostensibly a residential street) as a drag strip.
