Kelvindale Community Council

With the unprecedented global crisis, staff availability in ScotRail and Network Rail Scotland has been affected, as well as customer demand. That’s why, from Monday, 23 March 2020, we’ll be operating a revised timetable.

The timetable that will operate from Monday, 23 March represents significant change from the normal daily timetable, with a specific focus to deliver an effective public transport service for key workers..

Dear Friends,

We wanted to get in touch to offer local residents information on latest developments around Covid-19 (Coronovirus) and provide contacts for further advice and guidance.

Glasgow City Council is providing updates here: https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/coronavirus

Scottish Government’s regularly updated guidance is here: https://www.gov.scot/coronavirus-covid-19/

Public health advice can be found at: Coronavirus (COVID-19) on NHS Inform.

A free helpline has been set up for people who do not have symptoms but are looking for general advice: 0800 028 2816. 

Businesses across Scotland can find advice and guidance on COVID-19 here: https://www.gov.scot/news/covid-19-helpline-for-scottish-businesses/

There’s also friendly, helpful community support and advice offered by the NextDoor blog here: https://blog.nextdoor.co.uk/2020/03/13/how-can-you-use-nextdoor-to-help-your-neighbours-in-a-time-of-need/

In particular, if you’re able to lend a hand to neighbours who are social distancing or self isolating, this simple idea from Becky Vass in Cornwall is proving popular:

In light of the circumstances, we’ve taken guidance from our colleagues at the Council and will postpone our forthcoming monthly public meeting on Thursday 19th March.

That said, we remain available to contact as usual at kelvindalecc@gmail.com and through our Facebook page.  And remember, you can find lots of information and contacts for local services on the website www.kelvindale.org

During the coming weeks/months our locally elected councillors and other ancillary services will be very busy – so please support them however you can.

From all of us at Kelvindale Community Council, our very best.

Please see the links below.   Any objections should be received by 14^th February 2020

We have received reports that discarded syringes have been found within the Kelvindale area. Hopefully this is an isolated incident. In the good old days chemists used to keep “sharps boxes” where these items could be taken, but this no longer applies. You need to ring the Environmental Health Dept on 0300 343 7027 who will arrange collection of the items. They only collect items which are in public areas. As always, do not take any risks handling syringes of any type, and please do not dispose of them in any domestic, recycling, street or commercial waste bin.

Temporary Traffic Regulation Order – Bellshaugh Road, Closure and No Waiting and No Loading Restrictions, 19 August 2019 until 28 February 2020.

I write to advise of the above temporary restrictions which are required for Scottish Water and Amey, Black and Veatch’s installation of a new Scottish Water flood prevention measure.

It will be necessary close Bellshaugh Road and restrict the parking on Bellshaugh Road, between Balcarres Avenue and Bellshaugh Court, as works progress.

The Order will come into effect at 00:01 hours on Monday, 19 August 2019 and remain in operation until 23:59 hours on Friday, 28 February 2020.

Scottish Water and Amey, Black and Veatch will provide advance notification to all residents and businesses affected. The restrictions will only apply as required in the vicinity of the works as indicated and local access will be maintained.

 If you require any further information, please contact Stephen Anderson on 0141 287 9359.

It is with great sadness that the Community Council announces the death of Mrs Mohammad.

Mrs Mohammad, along with her husband, came to Kelvindale in January 1972 and they have run the shop and post office on Kelvindale Road for 47 years. She was a familiar sight in Kelvindale and very much part of the community. She will be sadly missed.

Our condolences go out to Mr Mohammed and his family.

Although Shelter is well known for work with the homeless, they do of course carry out a wide range of work within all aspects of housing matters. There have been recent changes to the Private Renting sector – and Shelter have put together this short information video.
