Here is information from the second exhibition of the graving dock proposals which we have received.
In case you missed it on Saturday, a PDF is attached with the content of the exhibition presented at the Riverside Hall.
The boards show the changes from the first exhibition. These include changes to building heights and positions, retention of one of the restored graving docks as a dry dock for heritage and events, and more information on housing. You can see a report of the day and images of the model on our Facebook page: facebook.com/GravingDocks2017 We had intended that the plans would not change before submission of the 'in principle' planning application next month, but due to vocal concern from Napier Drive residents we will be reviewing (again) the design of that edge of the site. There was a strong feeling from residents that our changes had not gone far enough for them. There's more information on the Facebook page - and we'll let you know when the planning application is submitted. If you've got any questions or comments, please get in touch. Thanks, Nick Wright www.nickwrightplanning.co.uk

Police Scotland have launched #Policing2026 - the long term strategic plan from Police Scotland and the Scottish Police Authority (SPA) which sets out our ambitions to transform the way in which policing is delivered to the people of Scotland.
The strategy sets out how Police Scotland can become a flexible and adaptable workforce to address new and changing demands and improve outcomes for people, communities and places. The strategy is now published in draft form to allow the public and stakeholder to offer their views and feedback over a 10 week period before a final strategy is approved and published before the summer. Police Scotland encourage as many people to get involved in the conversation and you can do that by visiting our Policing 2026 consultation. Thank you in advance for your assistance with their work. Please follow the below link to take part…. https://consult.scotland.police.uk/consultation/2026/ Please be advised that the next meeting of Ibrox and Cessnock Community Council will take place at 7pm on Wednesday, March 15th at Clyde Community Hall, 41 Whitefield Road, Glasgow G51 2YB.

Here is information on 2 forthcoming development events in the Govan area. Graving docks | first exhibitionDear All Just a wee reminder that the first drop-in exhibition on New City Vision's graving docks development and restoration proposals will take place a week today: Saturday 4th March, 1pm-6pm, Riverside Hall, Clydebrae Street. Everyone is welcome - please promote! A flyer is attached if you would like to circulate around your networks. At the exhibition we’ll show the draft outline proposals for new development, restoration of the docks and public access to the river. We’ll explain what’s fixed if the proposals are to go ahead, and what’s flexible. We’ll also have ideas from local school pupils about how they what they would like to see happen in and round the docks - and be inviting everyone else's ideas too. Tonight, we'll be starting a daily countdown on Facebook.com/GravingDocks2017, with a different question every day. By the second exhibition on Saturday 25th March (same time and place) we’ll have ‘fixed' the areas of flexibility in response to what people have said. You’ll be able to see the final outline proposals that will be submitted for outline planning permission in April. Remember - if you want to influence the proposals, come to the first exhibition! We look forward to seeing you. Thanks, Nick Wright 07900 334110 | 01505 352147 www.nickwrightplanning.co.uk
Govan Cross Public Space Improvements: get involvedHello, I’m writing to let you know that the Central Govan Action Plan team is about to get another phase of public space improvements underway at Govan Cross, and the call is out to everyone in the local community to get involved and help shape proposals. This time it’s the streets and spaces around the Pearce Institute, the entranceway to Govan Old, the gushet, Burleigh Street and Langlands Road that will be in line for a makeover. We’ve prepared some indicative design proposals to get the conversation started and you can view these in the attached flyer. You’ll notice that there are no indicative design proposals for the entranceway to Govan Old. That’s because this is a rather special and sensitive historical place, and we intend to work directly with local people to research how this space was used and designed throughout the last centuries and to identify what type of use and design people most want to see today, before asking everyone to agree on the final design. This initial phase of community consultation will close on 31 March 2017. Your views will be used to develop detailed designs by June 2017, working toward the improvements getting underway by February 2018. There are lots of ways to get involved: In person

Glasgow City Council’s Trading Standards Service is involved in various initiatives aimed at tackling doorstep crime, scam mail and unwanted telephone calls in all their various forms.
Trading Standards work with the various partner agencies involved in providing assistance to the most vulnerable citizens such as Police Scotland, HMRC, Social Work, High Street Banks and charity organisations. Every year hundreds of Glasgow consumers are conned into handing over thousands of pounds to rogue traders who have either cold called them on the doorstep or by telephone. These traders are known to carry out work which is unnecessary, badly done and overpriced. Their victims, particularly those most vulnerable to such scams, have been repeatedly targeted and in many cases have lost tens of thousands of pounds. To help combat the problem, Trading Standards provides advice and guidance to various charity groups to raise awareness of these scams and offers assistance where needed. Information and awareness days have been held in various Glasgow shopping centres in order to highlight the issues to the general public and encourage reporting of suspicious activity in their community. Trading Standards, in partnership with Police Scotland, continue to carry out a successful initiative of routine patrols within areas most affected by Bogus Callers to deter and limit their activity within the Glasgow area. Residents who think they may have been the victim of a scam should contact the council’s Trading Standards team who can provide appropriate advice and also supply deterrents such as ‘No Cold Calling’ stickers for windows and doors. It can also supply Call Blocking units to prevent nuisance telephone calls and can help individuals register with the Call Preference and Mail Preference Services to stop them receiving endless junk mail.
