Today, I noticed progress with the construction works for social housing at Burnbank Gardens. This work is possible through a housing grant to local housing associations.
It is exciting to observe that there is a contractor at this site. When this development is completed, it will support older people to access suitable social housing for their needs.
There are significant improvements which have enhanced the environment within Carrington Lane, Woodlands. The lane was cleaned up through the efforts of residents with support from council funding for back lanes.
This investment to enhance the local environment in North Woodside Road as well as support for cyclists in the neighbourhoods, is part of Connecting Woodside.
There are ongoing concerns about bird food being left within public spaces by residents. This food is encouraging vermin within greenspaces including public parks and play areas.
New signage has been designed and installed by the council to discourage residents from leaving bird food within public spaces.
This week, I noticed significant progress to complete the cycle lane on St. Georges Road. During the last month, there has been creation of the cycle lane starting from Charing Cross.
Many thanks for the efforts by everyone involved in protecting and preserving these unique mosaic bollards.
There were ash trees infected with disease on the corner of Queen Margaret Drive and Maryhill Road. Tree works have been completed by the council in the last few weeks.
It has been possible to walk along the Kelvin Walkway from Kelvinbridge to Queen Margaret Drive after storm damaged trees have been cleared from the route.
Repairs to the collapsed tenement on Oakfield Avenue are progressing. There is a significant amount of scaffolding in place to support the site works.
The contract works for the provision of a dedicated cycle lane on St. Georges Road have started on 17th March. It is anticipated that the works will take 48 weeks.
The unauthorised tree works started on Saturday 8th March at the community garden site, located on the corner of Southpark Avenue and Belgrave Lane. These works were halted by an enforcement notice issued by the council on 18th March.
The enforcement notice is in place to stop tree works for 28 days. There are ongoing concerns from residents about any works on the site. This greenspace has had planning permission for many years as a community garden.
Over the weekend, I noticed that additional CCTV cameras and better lighting has improved the underpass at Garscube Road, next to the M8 Woodside Viaduct.
In addition, the barriers to stop cycling in the underpass have been removed. New signage refers to shared space being used and cyclists are requested to walk their bikes through the underpass.
There are concerns about the trees collapsed on Kelvin Walkway due to storms and severe weather in recent weeks. These trees are blocking access to a nationally important walking and cycle route.
At the weekend, I enjoyed a walkabout of the Woodside area in the sunshine. This area has a beautiful swimming pool located at Braid Square.
Today, I noticed that as a result of the recent storm, a tree has collapsed in to the grounds of the classical villa at 10 Great George Street.
Today, I noticed there is a fallen branch from a nearby tree going across St. Peter's Street. It is blocking the roadway next to Oakgrove Primary.
There is a collection point for donations of clothes and shoes which helps fund the Fire Fighters Charity outside Maryhill Fire Station.
Whilst the Cameron Memorial Fountain is surrounded by heras fencing, it has been cleaned up and weeds have been removed.
On Friday 10th January, I had a walk along Byres Road to look at the significant progress of the improvements works. The upgraded pavements and new cycle lane were clean and tidy. This enhanced route seems to be encouraging residents to become more active.
