Glasgow City Council is holding an online consultation and walk-in session to assess how we can improve walking and cycling on Queen Margaret Drive.

We are investigating a number of possible options to improve the environment for cyclists, pedestrians, local residents and businesses.

New designs could see the implementation of:

• Improved paths
• Improved pedestrian crossings
• Reallocation of road space
• Cycle lane

This is to, improve public space, increase the number of cyclists, improve road safety and reduce sustainable transport journey times.

ONLINE CONSULTATION available at: www.glasgow.gov.uk/qmd
PUBLIC DROP IN EVENT (meet the project team) Wednesday 2 May from 3.00pm - 7.00pm at Scout Hall, 76 Kelbourne Street, G20 8PR

One of the key priorities for Glasgow City Council is to reduce inequality across Glasgow by creating a thriving economy that works for everyone.

Improving public transport has been identified by Glasgow Community Planning Partnership (GCPP) as a key enabler in allowing everyone to connect to opportunities to work, access training and education, shop and socialise in the city.

This short anonymised survey is designed to capture your thoughts and experiences on moving around the city and will be shared with GCPP and it's partners including Glasgow City Council to inform their research into improving public transport provision across the city.

This is your chance to influence the direction of travel – tell us what you think

Glasgow City Council is developing a new vision for parks and greenspaces in Glasgow.  We are keen to make sure the vision of what Glasgow’s parks and greenspaces may look like and what roles they will perform in the future comes from the communities that use and love these spaces. 

Please follow the link below to questionnaire, and please note that we are discussing only the sites that are owned or managed by Glasgow City Council.

Park Conservation Area was originally designated in 1969 with the boundary extended in 1990. 

Glasgow City Council, as Planning Authority, has a duty to preserve and enhance the character and appearance of conservation areas and from time to time prepare and publish proposals for doing so.  Part of this process involves the preparation of a ‘Conservation Area Appraisal’. 

The City Council has prepared a Draft Conservation Area Appraisal for Park Conservation Area.  The document 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,  
- review existing conservation area boundaries and suggest changes where appropriate; and;
- identify opportunities for the preservation and enhancement of the conservation area

Residents, property owners and local groups 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.

Click on the link provided to see the Draft Park Conservation Area Appraisal.   It will also been deposited at local libraries and the Councils’ DRS enquiries desk at 231 George Street, Glasgow G1 1QU.

Comments may be e-mailed to appraisal@drs.glasgow.gov.uk, to be received by 24^th May 2018.

The City Government considers the High Street/Saltmarket area of Glasgow to be a key priority for regeneration in the city centre, with a consensus that not enough has been done in recent years to uplift and enhance an area that comprises the city’s historic heart.

The objective of this consultation on the High St/Saltmarket Action Plan is to gather opinion on proposed actions under the following themes:

- Heritage

- Economic Development

- Public Realm (local environment)

The intention is to develop and implement agreed, short, medium and long term actions in collaboration with the local community and stakeholders. By doing this, it is anticipated that the opportunity for the High Street area to maximise its potential and play a key role in the ongoing development of the city will be realised.
