There were also updates on Clifford Street parking problems and the Great Scottish Run route. Bailie Thomas advised that a new CCTV camera at Ibroxholm Oval would be operational within weeks. The lack of a community council for Govan East was discussed, as was the need for Festival Park to be restored following the recent road works. The possibility of moving to an alternative venue was discussed due to the increase in attendance at our meetings this year, but all agreed to continue to meet at Kinning Perk for the time being while the refurbishment of Whitefield Hall continues. Iain Henderson gave his report on the Community Council Discussion Forum held on November 14th. New Govan Area Partnership rep Mark Hughes gave his report from his first meeting. Issues discussed included the South Sector Information Plan, problems in the Ibrox/Govan area with youth alcohol use and unemployment. Also discussed was the non-response of Rangers Football Club to correspondence about problems on match days including litter, urinating and antisocial behaviour. Bailie Thomas intimated that Govan Loves Christmas was due to take place on December 2nd and that the Govan Area Partnership would have a stall. John Foster spoke of the possibility of having members lead on particular areas (ie the arts, youth engagement, cleansing etc), and engagement with other local groups and organisations. Jon Scordia and Jonathan Dalling from Cooper/Cromar Architects spoke extensively about the proposed development at Ibroxholm Oval, which is for 65 flats of various sizes, and showed the latest plans. Concerned were expressed by residents in relation to privacy, parking and the removal of trees. The meeting closed at 8.50pm. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday December 16th at Kinning Perk.
