The new proposed 20mph zones include only one in Kelvindale, at Kirklee Gate.
Full details of all the others are at ‘Proposed Traffic Regulation Orders’ at www.glasgow.gov.uk/parking (even though it’s nothing to do with parking really).

Our friends at Drumchapel Community Council have organised a public meeting for those in the north-west of the city with concerns about transport to the new hospitals on the site of the Southern General, once the Western Infirmary has closed.
There will be representatives from NHS, the Scottish Ambulance Service and SPT, and the meeting will be on Monday 23 February at 7pm in Drumchapel High School, 45 Caledonian Ave, Glasgow G15 7SQ.
This update is from George Gillespie at LES (Land & Environmental Services) via Cllr John Letford:
You can also get live info on which roads have already been gritted here (it’s quite nifty).
A Winter Gritting Action Plan has been instructed. In advance of the forecast snow, non priority roads and pavements are currently being gritted and the non priority road gritting will continue overnight Tuesday. Also, the 1,418 grit bins in the City are being checked and filled as required. After this the focus will switch to gritting of priority pavements from 5.30 am and gritting of priority roads from 8.00 am both on Wednesday. Depending on the severity of the snow event it may be necessary to undertake repeated treatments of the pavement and road priority network to maintain safety for road users. Otherwise the gritting of non priority roads and pavements will recommence.
The Winter Gritting Action Plan will involve 200 LES operatives, 38 large road gritters, 26 large and medium tractor gritters, 16 mechanised and 32 trailed pavement gritters, 56 pavement ploughs and hand gritting squads. A number of external contractors have been placed on standby to ensure their availability should their assistance become necessary due to the snow being more severe or lasting longer than currently forecast.
In addition to the above resources, self help measures are available. Rock salt supplies (10 kg) to assist resident self help is available at Victoria, Greenfield, Springburn, Kings Parks, Dawsholm, Polmadie, Easter Queenslie and Shieldhall Depots.
I have attached, for your information, a link to the Winter Maintenance Plan . Further updates will be issued as necessary.

Does anyone have good experience with a wheelie bin cleaning company that covers Kelvindale? If so, let us know in the comments below … thanks!
The Scottish Fire and Rescue service are issuing up-to-date advice on safety and the law around Bonfire Night. It’s summed up in their leaflet here: SFRS-Bonfire-Leaflet-2014.
Our constituency MSP Patricia Ferguson is supporting the proposal for a Bill to change the existing opt-in system of organ donation to one which would require people to opt out. Organ donation rates increase by 25-30% where this is the case, and currently three people die in the UK every day waiting for a transplant.
For more information you can get in touch with Patricia via her website at www.patriciaferguson.labour.co.uk
Cleveden Community Club is now back in the swing of the 2014/2015 season. We meet as before at Cleveden Secondary School from 2-4pm. Dates up to Christmas are 2nd, 16th and 30th November. Annual membership is £12, with £1 payable by members over 8 years old for each session attended.
Swimming, badminton and table tennis are always available, plus the use of the fitness suite. Members can meet friends in the café, where there are also board games and a book exchange. We hope to provide other activities but need more volunteers to take the lead in introducing a new sport or craft. We are keen to reintroduce football for the younger members. If there is anyone who is willing to organise a kick about session, please let us know.
