Plans are advancing for a £120,000 improvement project at the Millennium Space situated at Saracen Cross, Possilpark. Over 12th – 20th November, the Big Vote is inviting the community to select one of three options as the winning Design Proposal.”

Over recent months the Council and partners have worked with the community to come up with ideas to improve the Millennium Space – to make it more attractive, pleasant and fun for all.

The ideas have been turned into three Design Options and these are now being put to the community for the Big Vote over the next ten days, concluding Friday 20^th November. Voting Hubs are set up at the following venues so that the public can view the 3 options and vote to select a winning design proposal.  The Voting hubs are located within the following three venues

·         Possilpark Library, 127 Allander Street
·         Possilpoint Community Centre, 130 Denmark Street
·         The Courtyard, 2 Westercommon Drive

As part of the Big Vote, during office hours over Monday 16^th – Friday 20^th November there will be a staffed exhibition and polling booth at the Jobs and Business Glasgow offices at 252 Saracen Street, Possilpark. Project staff will be on hand to discuss the options and and encourage people to use their vote! Staff will also be out and about over the next ten days at local groups, meetings and events to publicise the Big Vote and encourage people to vote. You are invited to participate in the Big Vote. So come on – bring your family, friends or workmates to any of the above venues, find out about the Millennium Space project and most importantly register your vote for the best design

The City Council has prepared a Draft Conservation Area Appraisal for Pollok Park Conservation Area. This study provides an opportunity to review the existing conservation area, identifying:

• the key features which contribute positively to the areas unique character,
• the challenges, which need to be addressed in order to protect its special architectural and historic interest, and
• suggested changes to the existing conservation area boundary.

Residents, property owners and local groups and organisations including community councils, heritage groups and amenity societies have a major role to play in the preparation of conservation area appraisals and their involvement and support is fundamental to the success of the whole process.
