No revised plans were available but pavilion-style units are under consideration. Denis Ruddy reported that planters had been ordered for the back courts at Harley Street, and thanked the community council again for the clean-up efforts in this area. The issue of the abandoned shop/flat at 21 Harley Street, was raised, and Fariha Thomas undertook to investigate whether the uncovered drain constituted a statutory nuisance. Chris Fyfe proposed a “Spring Clean” event to collect unwanted furniture, electrical goods etc from residents to recycle/donate to charity shops. The possibility of further litter clean-ups was discussed, and Shona Craven agreed to contact schools in the area to establish what work in this area is already taking place. Residents gave feedback on the Summer Sessions concerts in Bellahouston Park, including complaints about dropped litter and bottles left on streets. John advised there was to be a meeting on September 29th at the Palace of Arts offering people to chance to air these views. Iain Henderson agreed to attend. There was discussion about the possibility of our next meeting (the AGM on October 21st) having representation from the council's Land and Environmental Services department to address residents' concerns. Shona advised that she would put together a list of suggestions and circulate to community council members and then to LES in advance of the meeting. John advised that a public consultation event regarding the development on the Edmiston/Hinshelwood Drive site would take place on Tuesday September 22 at Ibrox Library. Iain provided his monthly forum report, and intimated that he had written to Rangers Football Club about the problems caused for residents on match days, ie urinating, litter and bottles on the streets. Licensing reviews were discussed, and resident Margaret Prunty told of her concerns about the old mosque on Paisley Road West being made into a guest house. Shona advised of the Govan Area Partnership meeting on September 17th, but unfortunately no members were available to attend. The next meeting is on November 5th - Mark Hughes advised he was willing to attend this, and to take on the role of CC representative going forward. Resident Margaret MacLean spoke of tenant/landlord problems on Elizabeth Street, as well as back-court bin problems. Fariha offered some possible solutions, emphasising that residents who wished wheelie bins were required to buy these themselves but adding that she should be able to source extra tin bins. It was also stressed that bulk uplift services were not a statutory responsibility of the council. The meeting closed at 8.30pm. The next meeting is on Wednesday October 21st at Kinning Perk.
