Shaping the future of your water and waste water servicesScottish Water is asking its customers in communities throughout Scotland to help shape water and waste water services in a major consultation.
The utility – the fourth biggest in the UK which supplies 1.35 billion litres of fresh clean water a day to its five million customers – is inviting views on its proposals and ambitions for the coming decades. Stakeholders and communities are being asked to consider three key ambitions which it is proposed will underpin Scottish Water’s activities:
The consultation is open until August and responses will help form Scottish Water’s planning for the future. Visitors to events later this year including the Royal Highland Show, the Ideal Home Show and Belladrum Tartan Heart music festival and Pride events in Glasgow and Edinburgh will be able to participate in person in the consultation. Work will be undertaken in rural and island communities to promote the consultation and encourage participation. The consultation can be completed online at www.yourwater.scot Glasgow City Council have recently produced a draft City Charter, which is an informal agreement between the Council and citizens that lists shared commitments, aims and standards.

Glasgow City Council would like to hear your views and opinions on the draft City Charter so that the Council can take them into account when developing the final version. To take part in the consultation please:
Here are some of the questions residents have posed about the proposed move of the Glasgow Night Shelter from Anderston to Fairley Street, Ibrox. If you have any further questions please email them to us: [email protected] 1. What is Glasgow Night Shelter? The night shelter provides safe and warm overnight accommodation for people who cannot access normal homeless services due to their immigration status. 2. Where is the shelter, how big is it and what are its hours of operation? The shelter is currently at Anderston Kelvingrove Parish Church and provides shelter and a hot evening meal for up to 15 men each night, plus breakfast in the morning. It operates from 8pm to 8am, 365 days a year. 3. Who runs the shelter and how is it funded? Glasgow Night Shelter is a volunteer-run charity that has been in operation since December 2011. It relies entirely on donations from supporters to meet running costs of about £25,000 a year, which includes the wages of a part-time co-ordinator. 4. Why does the shelter need to relocate from Anderston? The charity has been seeking its own premises for two years, in order to provide better facilities and a space for women, who cannot be accommodated at the church in Anderston. The charity also hopes to use a new building for fundraising events, talks and screenings during the day and early evening. 5. How many people will be able to stay at the new shelter, and will children be allowed? The charity hopes to provide accommodate for up to 30 men and up to 15 women. Children might stay for a night or two at the shelter until the social work department can find them somewhere else to stay. 6. Where is the shelter planning to move to and when will this happen? The charity hopes to lease a property on Fairley Street, diagonally opposite from the GalGael Trust. The building was previously used as a recording studio and office/storage space so permission for a change of use will be required. The charity hopes to open at Fairley Street in spring 2018. 7. Why has our area been selected as the new site? The site on Fairley Street has been identified as the most suitable and affordable for the shelter. The shelter has good links to organisations in the community including GalGael, Unity, Scottish Action for Refugees and Govan Community Project. 8. Why is the shelter required? Can't those using it access other homeless services? Those accessing the night shelter are refused asylum seekers and homeless non-EU migrants who have no recourse to public funds (NRPF). They cannot work or receive benefits beyond a payment of £36.95 per week, and also cannot use homeless services that receive public funding. More information of what NRPF means is available here. 9. Where will those using the shelter go during the day? Will they be hanging around outside? The charity's rules prohibit loitering outside the shelter during the day. Currently the men using the shelter go to libraries (as this is free and they can access the internet), attend appointments with their immigration lawyers and access services run by charities. 10. Can residents register objections to the move? At our meeting on November 15th it was suggested a planning application was due to be lodged with Glasgow City Council within weeks. Comments on the application may be made online, via the council website, or in writing. NB: Comments on applications can only be taken into account if they are made on relevant planning issues, which are known as material considerations. Non-material considerations are issues that cannot be taken account of and cannot influence decisions on an application. 11. What are (and aren't) material considerations? Material planning considerations include:
Non-material planning considerations include:

We have received the following response to the comments raised on the proposed traffic calming scheme at our last meeting. MESSAGE SENT ON BEHALF OF JAMIE RODDEN
GROUP MANAGER – TRAFFIC AND ROAD SAFETY Dear Mr Hughes THE GLASGOW CITY COUNCIL (CITYWIDE 6A) TRAFFIC CALMING SCHEME 201_ I am writing to confirm receipt of your correspondence regarding the above named Traffic Calming Scheme and thank you for your comments. Your comments have been noted and will form part of the decision making process. I can confirm that traffic calming measures are being proposed at various locations throughout Ward 5 to allow this area to be implemented as a Mandatory 20mph Zone. The purpose of the Mandatory 20mph Zone is to ensure that vehicle users reduce their speeds to 20mph or less, and therefore improve road safety for pedestrians, cyclists and all other vehicle users. By turn, it is anticipated that this will encourage more people to walk and cycle, which would have associated health benefits. Furthermore, a report by Department for Transport (DfT), titled, ‘Relationship between Speed and Risk of Fatal Injury: Pedestrians and Car Occupants’, notes the following benefits: - If someone is hit by a car at 40 mph they are 30% likely to be killed. - If someone is hit by a car at 30 mph they are 7% likely to be killed. - If someone is hit by a car at 20 mph they are 1% likely to be killed. I can also advise that Transport Scotland have published the ‘Good Practice Guide on 20mph Speed Restrictions’ - Version 2-June 2016, which states that 20mph Limits can now be considered without traffic calming measures at locations where the ‘existing mean speeds are no greater than 24mph’. It is the Council’s intention to use this benchmark and any road within a 20mph zone, where the speeds are shown to be higher than 24mph, will have some physical traffic calming measures installed. This positive change in regulations will also help ensure that physical traffic calming measures are only installed at locations where there is a speeding issue and areas where vehicle speeds are already low and below 24mph, can be implemented as 20mph zones without the need for traditional and costly traffic calming measures such as speed cushions. In view of the above, I can confirm that a series of speed surveys have been carried out throughout Ward 5. However, due to the significant size of the proposed zone and to prevent duplicate results, intelligence led decisions were taken to avoid carrying out speed surveys in similar streets. Experience has shown that streets that are similar in nature, i.e. width, length, parking arrangements, etc, often have similar speed survey results. The results have then been assessed to determine the following: · The locations that are already suitable for the implementation of 20mph Zone; · The locations that require the installation of traffic calming measures before they can be implemented within the 20mph Zone · The locations that are not suitable for the implementation of 20mph Zone. With regards to the locations that you mention, I can advise the following: 1. Merrick Gardens Streets that are fairly similar to Merrick Gardens, (which are also fairly short, narrow with on-street parking) have resulted in average speeds of less than 24mph. However, due to your comments, further speed survey analysis will be carried out in Merrick Gardens. 2. Ibrox Terrace The speed survey assessment found that the average speed on Ibrox Terrance was 16.3mph and 17.3mph, therefore suitable for inclusion within the proposed Mandatory 20mph without the installation of traffic calming measures. 3. Clifford Street The speed survey assessment found that the average speed on Clifford Street was 18.3mph and 18.5mph, therefore suitable for inclusion within the proposed Mandatory 20mph without the installation of traffic calming measures. 4. Middleton Street Again, streets that are fairly similar to Middleton Street, have resulted in average speeds of less than 24mph. However, due to the nature of this street, further speed survey analysis will be carried out. 5. Brand Street The speed survey assessment found that the average speed on Brand Street was 23.4mph and 24.2mph. As the vehicle speed is only marginally above 24mph, it is proposed that, coupled with the existing traffic calming in place, again, additional ‘20’ roundel markings will be painted on the carriageway to reduce vehicle speeds on Brand Street. In view of the above, I can confirm that, the further speed surveys will be carried out before the end of November 2017 and following assessment of the results, I will update you with the outcome. I can also advise that it is anticipated that consultation for the proposed Mandatory 20mph Zone will commence by the end of November 2017. It is also anticipated that the Zone will be fully implemented by the end of August 2018, however this will be dependent on the number of objections received. Building Scotland’s Low Emission Zones (LEZs)
We are writing to all community councils throughout Scotland in order to make them aware of a Scottish Government consultation called Building Scotland’s Low Emission Zones (LEZs) We have progressively reduced air pollution in Scotland over recent years, but poor air quality – predominantly caused by road transport – remains an issue at a number of hotspots in our towns and cities. Following the May 2017 local elections, several local authorities in major Scottish cities have made positive statements around LEZs, and we are encouraged to see the strong political will across local government to support improvements to air quality. Our Programme for Government committed to introducing LEZs into Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow between 2018 and 2020, and you may have read or heard in the media that the first LEZ will be put in place in Glasgow by the end of 2018. The Building Scotland’s Low Emission Zones consultation paper sets out the proposed arrangements and options to deliver a consistent approach to designing, building and managing LEZs in Scotland. We would therefore invite your community council, and residents in your area, to respond to the consultation at https://consult.scotland.gov.uk/transport-scotland/building-scotlands-low-emission-zones/ or by emailing your comments to [email protected] The consultation will close at 23:59 on 28 November 2017.

THE GLASGOW CITY COUNCIL (CITYWIDE 6A)
TRAFFIC CALMING SCHEME 201_ The Council propose to consider the introduction of the above named Traffic Calming Scheme and I wish to establish the views of your organisation. Background to the proposed Scheme Glasgow City Council are currently in the process of implementing Mandatory 20mph Speed Limit Zones throughout the City. The purpose of the Mandatory 20mph Speed Limit Zone is to ensure that vehicle users reduce their speeds to 20mph or less, and therefore improve road safety for pedestrians, cyclists and all other vehicle users. By turn, it is anticipated that this will encourage more people to walk and cycle, which would have associated health benefits. Furthermore, a report by Department for Transport (DfT), titled, ‘Relationship between Speed and Risk of Fatal Injury: Pedestrians and Car Occupants’, notes the following benefits: - If someone is hit by a car at 40 mph they are 30% likely to be killed. - If someone is hit by a car at 30 mph they are 7% likely to be killed. - If someone is hit by a car at 20 mph they are 1% likely to be killed. The ‘Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016’ (TSRGD) has added speed roundel road markings to the list of prescribed traffic calming features and states that no point within a 20mph zone shall be more than 50 metres from a prescribed traffic calming feature. Also, Transport Scotland have published the ‘Good Practice Guide on 20mph Speed Restrictions’ - Version 2-June 2016, which states that 20mph Limits can now be considered without traffic calming measures at locations where the ‘existing mean speeds are no greater than 24mph’. It is the Council’s intention to use this benchmark and in addition to speed roundel road markings throughout the zone, any road within a 20mph zone, where the speeds are shown to be higher than 24mph, will also have some physical traffic calming measures installed. This positive change in regulations will also help ensure that physical traffic calming measures are only installed at locations where there is a speeding issue and areas where vehicle speeds are already low and below 24mph, can be implemented as 20mph Zones without the need for traditional and costly traffic calming measures such as speed cushions. Following this report, a series of speed surveys have been carried out throughout Ward 5. The results have then been assessed to determine the following: · The locations that are already suitable for the implementation of 20mph Zone; · The locations that require the installation of traffic calming measures before they can be implemented within the 20mph Zone · The locations that are not suitable for the implementation of 20mph Zone. In view of the above, a total of 14 streets (68 individual locations) have been identified for the installation of speed cushions. These are detailed below: Roads affected by the proposed traffic calming measures The roads affected by the proposals are:- 1. Copland Road 2. Craigton Road 3. Crossloan Road 4. Drive Road 5.

Transport Scotland: Local bus services in Scotland - Improving the framework for delivery
www.transport.gov.scot/consultation/local-bus-services-in-scotland-improving-the-framework-for-delivery/ Bus services are important to the people of Scotland with around 400 million (three quarters of all public transport) journeys made by bus. However, the sector faces significant challenges with the overall number of passenger journeys decreasing and service cutbacks in some places which can leave communities without a public transport option. We believe that the legislative framework governing bus services requires improvement and are consulting on options to do that. Fundamentally, buses are a local service and work best when they are tailored to meet local needs and circumstances. Central government sets the framework of options for local authorities (and RTPs, where appropriate) to improve bus provision. We argue that this framework can be improved to make it more flexible and viable, whether a transport authority wishes to pursue partnership working, local franchising or even running their own buses. We also believe that there is room for improvement in terms of the information that passengers receive to help them plan and make a bus journey. We have set out our intentions to require bus operators to share data openly. Why We Are Consulting To secure the bus services we need to help grow our economy, meet the needs of individuals and communities and improve our environment, requires a collective effort with contributions from central and local government, commercial and not for profit providers and individuals, communities and representative organisations. Legislation alone will not solve problems such as congestion or the challenge of providing cost effective public transport services in more sparsely populated or remote communities. But we believe legislation can help drive and support the actions that are needed, and that the current legislative framework can be improved. The full consultation document sets out the context and detail of our proposals. Your answers to these questions are important as we refine our thinking and consider the next steps. This consultation is your chance to have your say and influence the shape of the regulatory framework for bus. Online consultation Here is this years summer sessions guide for local residents. This years summer sessions performance is on Thursday 24th August. Copies of this guide have been delivered to addresses that are affected by the road closures along with road access passes for cars.
Draft Property Strategy Consultation - Respond by 23rd August 2017
Colleague Glasgow City Integration Joint Board are consulting on their draft Property Strategy 2017-2019. The draft Property Strategy outlines the approach taken to strategic planning and utilisation of the property estate available to the Glasgow City IJB and the Health and Social Care Partnership, to support the aims of integration and delivery of effective, efficient health and social care services in Glasgow. We are keen to gather feedback from a range of stakeholders on the draft Property Strategy before it is presented to the Integration Joint Board for approval later this year. The draft Property Strategy 2017-2019, and a consultation feedback form are available on the Council's Consultation Hub at https://www.glasgowconsult.co.uk/KMS/dmart.aspx?strTab=PublicDMartCurrent&NoIP=1 along with details of how to respond to the consultation.

Public Consultation on Glasgow's Draft Community PlanThe Consultative Draft of the Glasgow Community Plan has been developed by partners in the city to articulate the priority areas where joint action can make a real difference. Residents are invited to voice their opinions on the plan.
Glasgow Community Planning Partnership brings together public agencies, the third sector and the private sector, to work to improve the city its services and the lives of people who live and work here. The Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 requires the Partnership to publish a plan that sets out our shared priorities for the city, where we plan to make improvements and over time show that we have made these improvements. This document sets out these priority areas for consultation. The final version of the Glasgow Community Plan will be published in October 2017. Public feedback to the draft will help shape that document. The Consultative Draft of the Glasgow Community Plan can be found here: Consultative Draft of the Glasgow Community Plan [3Mb] All members of the community are invited and encouraged to have your say on the plan using the following Survey Monkey: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/GlasgowCommunityPlan The survey will be open until 31st August 2017. The Woodland Trust has launched a new project to help protect trees in the urban environment. The Street Trees project needs your help!
We're entering into an exciting new era for your urban environment. We are looking for either existing community groups or groups of neighbours to come together and host events to celebrate their street trees, and show their appreciation of these trees to the local council. Are trees right up your street? Did you know that around 82% of people in the UK live in urban areas with even more spending much of their daily lives in town and cities? "Trees play an integral role in UK culture; they are our roots in nature and make our world more habitable. But we take them for granted in our modern urban societies." If you recognise the beauty and value of trees in our urban areas, then the Street Trees project is right up your street. What is the Street Trees project? The Woodland Trust has a vision for the future of towns and cities, where people and trees live alongside each other in harmony. Trees have always been there for you; cleaning your air, cooling your streets, making sure the place looks classy. Now they're in trouble and they need your help. We are here to help communities and local authorities work together to find solutions that ensure the survival of our cherished trees. But we need your help to show how important your street's trees are to you and your community. With the support of the players of the People's Postcode Lottery we have created a Celebration Starter Kit for Street Trees, to help you celebrate the trees on your streets by holding events or parties that get your community together. The resource packs are full of materials to help you celebrate your trees, learn more, and show your council and neighbours how much you appreciate your trees. They are suitable for all ages and there's also lots of information on practical ways to protect your trees and let your council know how important they are. We also want to showcase inspiring ideas and events throughout the summer and autumn, and in November 2017 we'd like everyone that is participating in the project to show how much they care for their local trees by taking part in a tree dressing day as part of National Tree Week. We'll then celebrate the efforts of participants with an awards ceremony where the biggest and best events will be given the spotlight to shine. The more groups that can get together and the more events and celebrations they can run the greater chance there is that their street will be chosen for an award. It's all about celebrating your community and showing your local government how important trees are to you. It really is as simple as that. You can apply by going onto our website and completing the online application form, ensuring that you answer all of the questions and provide as much detail as possible, and also upload a photo as well if you can. We hope this will inspire you to apply to the Street Trees project. Find out more and apply for your Celebration Starter Kit today at https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/get-involved/street-trees.
