determination to ensure Glasgow’s citizens share in the city’s success
G
lasgow City Council
has been named as the
best local authority
in the UK in the most
coveted and hotly contested
award of its kind in the sector.
It beat competition from
hundreds of submissions from

drive and leadership and singled
out its determination to ensure
that all of Glasgow’s citizens
share in the city’s success.
Councillor Gordon Matheson,
Leader of Glasgow City Council,
said: “2014 was the Year of
Glasgow. It was the greatest and
busiest year in the city’s history,
when we delivered the biggest
sporting and cultural event ever
seen in Scotland.
“Our recent £1.13 billion
Glasgow and Clyde Valley City
Deal, continued commitment
to our £50 million Glasgow

at Bellahouston
Park
Hello again!
People in Glasgow have often said it, but now it’s
official: our city is the best! As you can see on the
cover and in the story below, Glasgow City Council has
been voted the UK’s best local authority for its determination
to share the city’s success with citizens. Our people make Glasgow a
success, so we’re proud to continue the cycle.
Our citizens are helping each other become successful, too – especially
children. A new campaign is encouraging Glaswegians to think about
helping children flourish through fostering or adoption. Find out about
how you can add to your family tree on page 20-21. Meanwhile, children
and their parents are developing new skillls as a community of schools in
the east end works to improve health, hope and happiness. See page 22.
Being more environmentally sustainable improves life for everyone, and
Green Year 2015 is showcasing the city’s evolution from ‘Steam to Green’
with fun events across the city. Read more on pages 8-9.
One way to be greener is to save energy, and a new, free app from
Future City Glasgow can help you do exactly that. See page 35 for details
of that and the updated MyGlasgow app, which you can use to help keep
the city looking smart and running smoothly.

“Our bid outlined that Glasgow
is an ambitious, inventive and
entrepreneurial city with a track
record of delivery and making
things happen.
“The council’s drive and
leadership delivered the best
ever Commonwealth Games
and has positioned Glasgow as a
major metropolitan city.
“I’m proud of the staff of
Glasgow City Council who have
had an especially busy and
challenging time over the last
few years. They work hard every
day to make a difference to the
lives of the people of Glasgow
and it’s great that they have
been recognised in this way.
“In tough times, we are
transforming our city’s
reputation, services and
partnerships to let Glasgow and
her people flourish.”
Nick Golding, LGC’s editor,
said of the award winners: “It is
vital that we celebrate the best
of local government, not least
as the talent and innovation of
council officers and councillors
is often not recognised to the
extent it should be.
“The recipients of the awards
are the people doing the most
to improve services at a time
resources are constrained.”
The council was also a runnerup in the award’s Partnership
of the Year category for its
Commonwealth Employment
Initiatives programme, which
has helped around 5750 people
find jobs, apprenticeships and
training places.

A HEARTWARMING
HOSPICE CEREMONY
B
reaking Bad actress Laura Fraser
drove in the first spade at a
‘breaking ground’ ceremony for
the new Prince and Princess of
Wales Hospice at Bellahouston Park.
Glasgow’s Lord Provost Sadie
Docherty, Councillor Gordon Matheson,
Leader of Glasgow City Council, and
Jamie Hepburn, Minister for Sport,
Health Improvement and Mental
Health, witnessed the event.
The ceremony signalled the start
of work to lay the foundations for the
hospice and the simultaneous launch
of the hospice’s Foundations Appeal.
Rhona Baillie, Prince and Princess of
Wales Chief Executive, said: “Once the
initial groundwork is complete, the
foundations will be laid for the new
building. The hospice’s fundraising
team has already raised two-thirds
of the £1 million required for the
foundations. The hospice urgently
needs to raise the remaining £330,000
to complete the foundation work.”
The Foundations Appeal is seeking
the help of the people of Glasgow and
other hospice supporters.
Laura Fraser is the hospice’s newest
patron. She said: “Everyone is being
invited to play their part in the
Foundation Appeal and to put their
heart in the new hospice. Message
hearts have already begun pouring
in from all over the city. They will be
placed in a large chest and sunk into
the foundations under the front door
of the new hospice.”
The Lord Provost, who is also
president of the hospice, said: “The
much-loved building in Carlton Place
is now too small to meet modern
patient and clinical demands. It’s a
natural progression to move into new,
bigger and more modern premises. I’m
delighted that the new hospice will
include young people in its care plan,
as well as adults.
“The new premises promise patients
and families, as well as staff, beautiful
outdoor spaces and stunning gardens
allowing space, privacy and areas for
quiet contemplation.”
It will be the first hospice in the
United Kingdom to implement
the Sengetun model of care, a
Scandinavian model that puts
patients and family at the centre
of its focus alongside optimal
operational efficiency. Put your heart

presentation
Medals given to Lord Provost and Lord Smith of
Kelvin on behalf of explorer to celebrate leadership
P
olar explorer Ernest
Shackleton’s granddaughter
presented medals in memory
of his leadership skills to the
Lord Provost of Glasgow and Lord
Smith of Kelvin at the City Chambers
in April.
Alexandra Shackleton awarded
the Shackleton Medals, on behalf
of the Royal Scottish Geographical
Society (RSGS), for extraordinary
citizenship and leadership
during the Glasgow 2014
Commonwealth Games.
Ernest had served
as a Director of the
RSCG. The presentation
ceremony coincided
with the centenary of
her grandfather’s Endurance
Expedition (1914-17).
Lord Provost Sadie Docherty
accepted the medal on behalf of the
people of Glasgow. Lord Smith was
awarded his medal in recognition
of his leadership role as Chair of
the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth
Games Organising Committee.
Alexandra said: “I feel I owe
you an apology. I’ve been to the
Antarctic five times but this is my
first time in Glasgow. I watched
the Commonwealth Games. I was
fascinated – and what a triumph for
the city.”
Lord Provost Sadie Docherty said:
“I am incredibly proud to accept
this medal on behalf of the people
of Glasgow. Nobody can better our
Games because it is the people of
Glasgow who made them the best.”
Lord Smith said: “I am thrilled to be
awarded this and really pleased to be
awarded jointly with the people of
Glasgow. It’s the people of Glasgow
who, over those 11 days last year,
made me the proudest I
have ever been to be born
and bred in this city.”
Alexandra Shackleton
said her grandfather
Ernie died when her own
father was 10 years old.
“In those days, explorers
went away for years at a time
without contact. My father had
lovely memories but rarely saw him.
“One story I was told was that he
introduced the first telephone to the
RSGS offices, then located within the
Scottish National Portrait Gallery in
Edinburgh. The members used to get
the fright of their lives when it rang.”
Alexandra added that her
grandfather’s leadership skills were
well documented and his decision
to turn back during the Nimrod
Expedition was acknowledged as
“one of the greatest decisions of
polar exploration”.
More than 25,000 homes and businesses across
Glasgow can now connect to fibre broadband,
thanks to the Digital Scotland Superfast
Broadband programme.
And by the end of 2017, in excess of 75,000
homes and business will have access.
Since the programme kicked off, more than
3,400km of fibre cable has been laid and more
than 900 cabinets have been installed across
the country.
Combined with current commercial roll-out
plans, 85 per cent of premises in Scotland will
have access to fibre broadband by the end of
2015/16 and around 95 per cent by the end
of 2017/18.
Residents can check the interactive map on the
Digital Scotland website (www.digitalscotland.org/

GLASWEGIANS SET FOR
REUSE REVOLUTION
Householders in Glasgow are being offered a
free, greener way to dispose of large items,
thanks to a new partnership between Glasgow
City Council and Zero Waste Scotland. This will
see reusable bulky furniture and white goods
given to local organisations to be used again.
Householders with items that are in good
condition and could be used again by someone
else should call the national reuse phone line
directly on 0800 0665 820.
To ensure your item can be collected, Zero
Waste Scotland advises householders to check
that sofas and armchairs still have their fire tags,
and to ensure items are not broken, damaged or
left outside.
PAY BY PHONE PARKING
ZOOMS INTO GLASGOW
Motorists in Glasgow will soon be able to use
their phone to pay for parking in the city.
Cashless parking is being introduced across the
city centre using the UK’s leading phone parking
solution, RingGo.
RingGo allows people to charge parking fees
direct to their credit or debit card via their
mobile phone. Users can also top up their
parking without returning to their car and have
the option of being sent a text reminder.
Motorists simply register on their mobile
phones the first time they use the service.
Thereafter RingGo recognises the mobile phone
and recalls the information.
The new service will be offered in city centre
on-street pay and display parking bays from later
this summer.

GLASGOW GREEN YEAR 2015
Dear Green Place
gets greener
James Watt’s ‘eureka’ moment in Glasgow Green 250 years ago kick-started
the industrial revolution. Now Glasgow hopes to inspire a green revolution, as
the city celebrates Green Year 2015 with a host of fun activities and events
G
lasgow is a place of reinvention and
regeneration. It is amazing to look back over
the past few decades and see just how far
the city has come. Today, perhaps our most
important change of all is under way, as the original
industrial city embraces a new green revolution.
This year is the 250th anniversary of a special
moment in Glasgow’s long and lively history.
While taking a stroll through Glasgow Green in
1765, James Watt had a eureka moment that set the
industrial revolution in motion. The inventor imagined
a new kind of steam engine – faster, safer and
more efficient.
His inspiration led to a huge leap forward in
engineering and kick-started the industrial revolution.
This in turn transformed Glasgow into Scotland’s
economic powerhouse, a status that defined the city
for centuries.
Now, 250 years later, Glasgow is hosting its first
green-themed year that shows our evolution from
‘Steam to Green’. Glasgow’s Green Year 2015 will
champion the city’s ambition to be one of the most
sustainable in Europe.
The tone for the year was set in January, when school
pupils joined senior citizens at the People’s Palace
Winter Gardens for a Strictly Green dance-off on
pioneering energy-generating Pavegen flooring.
With the emphasis on fun and inclusive – yet
educational – activities, Green Year 2015
will showcase the innovation
and creativity of our
Dear Green Place. It will bring communities together
and show how we can all play a part in creating a
sustainable future for our city.
Partners large and small are supporting the Green
Year celebrations, both across the city and nationally,
including Scottish Natural Heritage and the RSPB,
as well as Glasgow’s Eco Schools and the Glasgow
Allotment Forum.
Each month of Green Year 2015 has a different
environmental theme, focusing on a particular aspect
of green living.
We have had a packed programme of exciting events
based around these themes, with something for
everyone to enjoy. Whether you want to learn about
our rivers, find out about local biodiversity and wildlife
or grow your own produce in community projects
across the city, there is loads to inspire Glaswegians to
be greener.
Glasgow also has more than 90 parks and formal
gardens within the city boundaries. These will host a
fantastic range of fun outdoor events and activities
over the summer, encouraging residents and visitors to
learn more about nature and our green spaces.
Glasgow City Council has also introduced the
Glasgow Mass Automated Cycle Hire, which locals
and visitors alike can use to get around the city in a
greener and sustainable fashion. People can register
as a member or as a casual user through the website
www.nextbike.co.uk/en/glasgow
Green Year also takes on the Green Legacy baton
of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. The
greenest Games also saw the creation of 700 energy
efficient homes at the Athletes’ Village in the east
end. The properties are now home to a mix of housing
association tenants and private homeowners.
Our city is incredibly rich in one brilliant, sustainable
resource: Glaswegians. Help Glasgow be a greener city
with greener jobs, greener lives and a greener, better
future for all.
For further information on the many Green Year events,
or to find out what else is happening in 2015, make sure you
visit the Green Year website www.greenglasgow.com or
follow us on Twitter: @greenglasgow
You can also download our Green Year app to your mobile
Apple or Android devices via our website.
SMALL STEPS, BIG DIFFERENCE
The dance moves of students
and active seniors from
Glasgow have helped power the
launch of the city’s new Green
Year app and website.
The event, called Strictly
Green – the energy of everyday
footsteps, was a fun way to
raise awareness of Glasgow’s
aspirations to be more
eco-friendly through the city’s
Green Year 2015 celebrations.
Special flooring using
innovative Pavegen
technology captures the
energy of participants’
dance steps and converts
it into electricity. The
energy harvested from
dancers and those who
attended the event was
used to charge mobile devices.
Bailie Liz Cameron, Chair of
Green Year, who helped to
launch the Green Year
app and website in
the Winter Gardens
in Glasgow Green,
said: “This is a
fantastic, fun way
to raise awareness
of Glasgow’s green
aspirations.
“But this dance event
has a very serious message.
From little or small steps we can
make major changes in our own
lives and by being greener we
can help save ourselves money,
cut our fuel bills and improve
our own, our community’s,
our city’s and country’s carbon
footprint.
“We need to continue the
transformation of an industrial
city to a sustainable city,
focused on the future, growing
from our past and delivering a
green city which supports green
jobs and a green economy.
“We hope 2015 will be a
huge boost to our city’s green
credentials.”
Glasgow will also be using
the enthusiasm and excitement
generated throughout 2015 to
help our bid to become one of
the most sustainable cities in
Europe. The app and website –
www.greenglasgow.com – will
help publicise the year’s many
diverse events. The website
was designed and created
in-house by Glasgow City
Council’s graphic designers.
The Green Glasgow 2015
App by Glasgow City Council
is available for download at
https://appsto.re/gb/BA5m5.i
The Pavegen flooring will be
used by Glasgow City Council
officials during Green
Year to help educate
Glaswegians about
our city’s green
aspirations and
will also be used
after 2015 to
raise awareness
about people’s
carbon footprint
and how to reduce their
impact on our environment.
Laurence Kemball-Cook,
Pavegen CEO and Founder,
said: “We are really excited to
be able to take part in Glasgow
Green Year 2015 and encourage
the people to engage and
learn about sustainability. This
installation is just the first step
towards Pavegen’s ambitions
for global recognition, powering
smart cities of the future, with
communities at the core of their
renewable energy generation.”
AGE FRIENDLY CITY PROGRAMME
MERCHANT CITY FESTIVAL
A great city for all
our older people
Age Friendly City status will
help residents become more
involved in their communities
G
lasgow is set to become an even
better place for older people after
being accepted onto the World
Health Organisation (WHO) Age
Friendly City programme.
This global network of 258 cities and
communities in 28 countries works to
improve life for older people by creating
environments that promote active ageing.
The programme puts particular focus on:
.. transportation
.. housing
.. community support and health services
.. communication and information
.. civic participation and employment
.. respect and social inclusion
.. social participation
.. outdoor spaces and buildings.
As a member of the Age Friendly City
Network, Glasgow will build on existing
good practice and set its aspirations for
older people in the city at the highest
possible level.
There are more than 82,000 people living in
Glasgow over the age of 65. Many are among
the most active and engaged citizens in the
community; however, some are among the
most vulnerable. Glasgow wants to address
the biggest issues faced by its older people
and learn from what works well elsewhere.
Groups who work with older people have
welcomed the WHO’s acceptance of Glasgow as
“Older people had
a lot to say about
how Glasgow could
be age friendly”
an Age Friendly City. Sandra Stuart, of Glasgow
Disability Alliance, said: “We were delighted
when we realised that the council had applied
for Age Friendly City status. The launch of the
bid coincided with us holding an event for 250
older people. Those who attended were equally
enthusiastic and had a lot to say about how
Glasgow could be age friendly.
“They highlighted issues such as transport,
housing and outdoor spaces, and the
overarching topic was reducing isolation.
Many said an Age Friendly City would mean
they can easily meet with their friends, and
be involved with the life of the city and
their communities.”
As an Age Friendly City, Glasgow will
work with other cities that want to deliver
progressive policies for older people. This
will help identify the best ways forward. This
co-operative approach signals Glasgow’s
commitment to listen to older people and
work with them to create accessible public
space, inclusive social environments and
appropriate services.
Conversations with older people have
already generated ideas, including:
.. improving bus services
.. making better use of and assessing the age
friendliness of the city’s parks
.. ensuring the city’s housing stock meets
older people’s needs
.. getting older people more involved in
volunteering
.. getting older people more involved in
developing policies that affect them.
Wider consultation undertaken in spring to
gather opinions and ideas on the issues and
how they can be addressed will help inform
the Age Friendly Glasgow action plan.
Making sure older people are fully involved
in the life of the city is important for them,
for community cohesion, the strength of the
city’s economy and its vibrancy.
The Good Move classes are great. At 81 they give me the energy

After the unbelievable success of Glasgow’s recent sporting events, the fantastic journey
continues with the city co-hosting the European Sports Championships alongside Berlin. The
event will take place in the summer of 2018 and around 2,900 athletes will come to Scotland
G
lasgow will take the next step on
its incredible sporting journey in
2018 when it co-hosts the first-ever
European Sports Championships.
Along with Berlin, the city has been
chosen to stage the new multi-sport event
following a decision by some of Europe’s top
sports to bring together their prestigious
European Championships for the first time.
It is the latest in a long line of events to be
awarded to Glasgow and follows on from the
2014 Commonwealth Games and this year’s
World Gymnastics Championships and World
IPC Swimming World Championships.
The all new European Sports
Championships will attract a television
audience of around 850 million, with
Glasgow hosting the cycling, swimming,
rowing and triathlon events.
Given the heritage of the sport in
Scotland, there is a further aspiration for
golf to be included, with Gleneagles as
the chosen venue. The event would be a
direct legacy from Scotland’s staging of the
spectacular Ryder Cup in 2014.
To be staged in the summer of 2018,
around 2,900 athletes will come to Scotland
as part of a total delegation of around 8,200
including officials, media and others. A
further 1,500 athletes will compete in Berlin
as part of the exciting new 10 to 12 day
fixture on the world’s sporting calendar.
Funded jointly by the Scottish
Government and Glasgow City Council,
the event will be run in partnership and
allow Glasgow and Scotland to continue to
build on the economic and sporting legacy
achieved by staging the Commonwealth
Games in 2014.
And with a cultural, tourism and sporting
partnership also planned with Berlin,
Glasgow will be promoted across Europe as a
leading tourist and business destination.
Swimming, involving nearly 900 athletes,
will be staged at three venues with the main
swimming event at Tollcross International
Swimming Centre in Glasgow and the diving
and synchronised swimming at the Royal
Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh. The open
water swimming competition is to be staged
at Loch Lomond.
The four cycling competitions – track, road
race, mountain-biking and BMX – will attract
650 of Europe’s top names to the Sir Chris
Hoy Velodrome, the Cathkin Braes Mountain
Bike Trails, the streets of Glasgow and a new
BMX track to be built in the city. This is the
first time all four cycling championships have
been staged together.
Rowing and triathlon will see around
760 athletes compete at the worldclass Strathclyde Country Park in North
Lanarkshire. Berlin will host the athletics
at their iconic Olympic Stadium.
OPENING CEREMONY
Glasgow’s Opening Ceremony will take
place in George Square where there will
be a live celebration zone throughout the
Championships. Sauchiehall Street and
the Merchant City Festival will also be live
celebration zones with the focus for all the
activities being focused on the city centre.
The city will also stage a European Cultural
Festival in collaboration with arts venues
across the city.

EXCELLENCE AND INNOVATION
Councillor Gordon Matheson, Leader of
Glasgow City Council, said: “I am delighted
that Glasgow has been chosen by such
prestigious sporting bodies to stage this
new and exciting event in partnership with
our friends in Berlin. We have been chosen
because of our excellence and innovation
and our proven ability to stage worldclass events. Not to mention of course
our citizens’ warm welcome, so superbly
demonstrated during the Commonwealth
Games, described as the best ever staged.
“Not only will Glasgow’s tourism offer be
promoted across Europe helping to support
our key services sector, but we will be able
to continue many of the outstanding legacy
initiatives which have done so much to
create opportunity and help improve health
and wellbeing outcomes for our citizens.
For example, hosting these world class
events has helped us increase attendance
at sporting facilities by 50 per cent, and
increased the number of people joining
sports clubs by a staggering 288 per cent.
“Major events have become part of the
bread and butter of our city’s economy and
we can now look forward with tremendous
excitement and focus to the next big thing
on the Glasgow calendar.”
Sport contributes more than £360 million
to the Glasgow economy each year with
tourism bringing a further £495m a year to
the city, making events such as this key to
the city’s economic success.
As well as Glasgow’s businesses enjoying a
direct economic impact of more than £200m
over the period of the Commonwealth
Games, around 5,500 young people gained
apprenticeships and sport now supports
around 10,000 jobs in the city.
Jamie Hepburn, Minister for Sport, Health
Improvement and Mental Health, said: “Last
summer, Scotland showed the world what
a tremendous job it can do when it comes
to staging major sporting events, with the
Commonwealth Games and the Ryder Cup
both hugely successful. As part of the legacy
of those events, we want to attract even
more top-class sport to Scotland, and the
European Sports Championships is certainly
in that category.
“The European Sports Championships will
be another chance for Scotland to prove it’s
the perfect stage for top class events. Not
only will this be a fantastic opportunity for
Scottish sports fans to see some of Europe’s
top athletes competing in our world-class
venues, it will also attract visitors providing
a great boost to the economy.”

The biggest names in gymnastics and para-swimming
are in training for World Championships in Glasgow
this year. With places at the Rio Olympics at stake, all
eyes will be turned on our city – and we’re ready
ome of the biggest names in world sport are set
to arrive in Glasgow later this year as the city
prepares to experience again the excitement of
the best ever Commonwealth Games.
Both the 2015 World Gymnastics Championships
and IPC Swimming World Championships are taking
place in the city during what is being billed as
Glasgow’s Year of Sport.
The events will put Glasgow back in the global
spotlight with a host of world and Olympic champions
set to go for gold at the SSE Hydro and Tollcross
International Swimming Centre.
The 2015 World Gymnastics Championships takes
place at the SSE Hydro in October and is already
promising to be one of the biggest single-sport events
ever staged in the UK. The 10-day event will bring
together more than 500 gymnasts from 80 nations. Up
for grabs will be the coveted title of world champion as
well as places at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
And spectators can relive the atmosphere of the
2014 Commonwealth Games at the iconic SSE Hydro –
now the world’s second-busiest entertainment venue.
Councillor Gordon Matheson, Leader of Glasgow City
Council, said: “The World Gymnastics Championships is
the stand-out event this year. It will bring together the
world’s very best gymnasts who will all be vying for a
place at the Rio Olympics.
“There will be some 500 gymnasts from an incredible
80 countries going for gold – that includes gymnastics
super powers including USA, China, Japan and Russia.
“And it’s not just about becoming world champion.
It is about keeping Olympic medal hopes alive.
“There will be an estimated television audience of
around 800 million people. The eyes of the world will
once again be on our great city and – make no mistake
– we will deliver the best ever World Gymnastics
Championships.
“Our position as one of the world’s top 10 sporting
cities has been built on our continued investment in
world-class facilities such as the SSE Hydro and our
international events programme.
“We have the track record, we have the venues and
we have the desire. We will put on a show this October
that will once again wow the world.”
Claudia Fragapane, who won four golds for Team
England at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games
can’t wait to compete at the SSE Hydro again this year.
She said: “I’m really excited about the thought of
competing at the Worlds in Glasgow. It will bring back
such nice memories and I can’t wait to get out there
with the other members of the team.”
Scotland’s Daniel Purvis, who won a gold and silver at
Glasgow 2014, added: “The buzz from the Commonwealth
Games is continuing right into this year’s World
Championships. It has been fantastic and I think it will
now just keep building as we get closer and closer.”
Before then, we’ll see the biggest names in para-sport
– including Great Britain’s Ellie Simmonds, Brazil’s Daniel
Dias, the USA’s Jessica Long and Canadian Benoit Huot –
at the 2015 IPC Swimming World Championships in July.
A star attraction for the local crowd will undoubtedly
be Glasgow boy and four-time European champion
Andrew Mullen, who is hoping to land his first world
title at Tollcross International Swimming Centre.
And with around 650 swimmers from 50 countries
set to thrill the city with a whole week of exciting
action, Mullen says the World Championships are a
great chance to see famous names up close. He said: “It’ll be great to watch and really exciting. But
more than that, it will be great if we could once again
showcase the people of Glasgow and their fantastic
support. Having a big crowd there will be a massive boost
for the GB swimmers. It will spur us on to medals.”
Golden girl of British para-swimming Ellie Simmonds,
who won two gold medals at both the London and
Beijing Olympics, is hoping that home advantage will
drive Team GB to victory.
She said: “It’s really important to get used to the
surroundings. We’re lucky that we had our European
Championships trials at Tollcross last year, so we’re
already one step ahead of international athletes.”

ALL CHANGE FOR CITY CENTRE AS
MAJOR DEVELOPMENT WORK BEGINS
Rejuvenating facelift for Glasgow following several multi-million pound construction projects
O
ver the next five
years, Glasgow’s
city centre will be
transformed as an
exciting programme of major
building and public realm work
is carried out.
This will create jobs, both
during construction and after
completion, generate investment
and encourage even more people
to visit and enjoy our city.
Due to the scale and number
of construction projects
happening over the same
period, day-to-day activity
during this time will be different
from normal.
To help residents, businesses
and visitors prepare, the
council has relaunched Get
Ready Glasgow, its information
campaign to keep the city
centre moving and minimise
disruption.
Get Ready Glasgow was used
to keep people informed on
changes in the city and around
venues before and during the
Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth
Games. The website
www.getreadyglasgow.com
contains information about
travelling to and from the city
centre and getting around
once you’re there. It also links
to partners’ websites for travel
advice and to help those
travelling to the city to plan
their journey in advance.
One of the first projects
planned to start is the
£400 million redevelopment
of Buchanan Galleries that will
provide over 1,500 new jobs.
The Land Securities
development will expand and
enhance the retail and leisure
offer and improve the overall
experience in the city centre.
Once completed in 2018, the
centre will boast more than 100
shops, 25 restaurants and a 10
screen Showcase Cinema De Lux.
The extension to the Glasgow
Royal Concert Hall is providing a
new home for the Royal Scottish
National Orchestra, with facilities
which will enhance the operation
of the existing amenities.
There will also be a £120m
upgrade to Queen Street station.
This will create a fully accessible,
modern, transport hub with
increased capacity and longer
platforms for new, modern trains.
Queen Street also serves
as a key interchange for
Glasgow Subway which itself is
currently undergoing its own
modernisation programme while
remaining fully functional.
Other rail improvement works
which may impact on journeys
to the city include essential
maintenance and renewal of
Winchburgh tunnel, east of
Linlithgow, affecting a section of
the main Edinburgh to Glasgow
line for six weeks during summer
2015. Additionally, Queen Street
tunnel will also close for 20
weeks from March 2016.
Rail services will be affected,
but to mitigate the impact
there will be more emphasis on
services from Queen Street’s low
level platforms and services to
Central Station and increased use
of other train stations in the city.
Council Leader Gordon
Matheson said: “We are entering
an exciting period for the city
centre and the end result will
be fantastic, but there will be
changes in the way that we
access and move around the
areas affected by these large
construction projects.
“We will do everything we can
to work with developers to keep
disruption to a minimum.”

“We are entering an exciting
period for the city and the
end result will be fantastic”
ince 2007, the year that the council’s Clean
Glasgow campaign started, cleanliness has
improved throughout the city.
Clean Glasgow is a campaign with a
straightforward goal – to make our city and every
neighbourhood within it a cleaner, safer place.
Since then, an army of volunteers, including
schools, community groups and businesses, have
been doing just that.
Each month around 350 community clean-ups
are carried out across the city by local residents.
In the southside of the city, local volunteers
and school children have been working with
the Southside Central Area Partnership and
Clean Glasgow to deliver a series of community
clean-ups.
These events were inspired by a neighbourhood
management survey in the area which identified
street cleanliness as a priority.
Volunteers included teams from Asda and
McDonald’s, as well as the community-based
environmental groups Urban Roots and
South Seeds.
At one clean-up event near Pollokshaws Road
and Govanhill Park, pupils from Cuthbertson
Primary, Annette Street Primary and Holy Cross
Primary helped local residents and staff from
McDonald’s pick up 33 bags of litter.
Cllr Gordon Matheson, Leader of the City
Council and Chair of Clean Glasgow, said: “I know
the people of Glasgow are very proud of their
city and Clean Glasgow has helped reignite a
sense of community spirit. The impact has been
tremendous and I am delighted that people are
taking an active role in their community.
“We have made a lot of progress, but the
job is far from complete. Everyone involved in
Clean Glasgow knows that genuine, long-lasting
success means changing attitudes and behaviour
– and breaking down and rebuilding what, for
many of us, amounts to a lifetime of bad
habits is not the work of a few months or
even a few years.
“The community clean-ups are demonstrating
the message at the heart of our People Make
Glasgow Cleaner campaign.
“If everyone plays their part we can ensure
that Glasgow is a clean and safe environment
– not only for visitors to our city but, just as
importantly, for the people who live here.”

Every year the council spends good money
cleaning up people’s litter. Clean Glasgow’s
approach combines a programme aimed at
instilling pride in the city’s environment, coupled
with a zero tolerance clampdown on litter crime.
Patrols of highly visible uniformed enforcement
officers have also taken to the city’s streets with
the remit of charging offenders with on-the-spot
fixed penalty notices.
However, success also relies on simple, everyday
action by individuals and businesses, for example,
ensuring refuse is well managed.
Cllr Matheson added: “When someone drops
litter, or fails to clean up after their dog, that has
a much bigger impact than you might expect.
“That act of thoughtlessness, laziness –
whatever you want to call it – perhaps spoils
someone’s walk in a favourite place or ruins a
child’s play, but it also has a dramatic effect on
how people feel about where they live.
“That, above all else, is why we started the
Clean Glasgow campaign – because by taking
pride in a wonderful city we can make it a cleaner,
better, safer place.”

FOSTERING
FOSTERING
Let Glasgow’s
children flourish
COULD YOU HELP NURTURE OUR CHILDREN?
G
lasgow really is the caring city: over the
past five years, more than 500 new foster
carers and adoptive parents have
been approved by Glasgow City
Council’s Families for Children service.
That means hundreds of children have
been given the chance to flourish in
loving, stable families – but many
more of the city’s children need the
same support.
Right now, about 1,200 children
are looked after by Families for
Children foster carers, but there
is a real need for more people to
come forward.
That’s why a new campaign is
being launched, taking inspiration
from the city’s famous motto,
Let Glasgow Flourish.
Families for Children is asking
Glasgow citizens to think about how they
might let Glasgow’s children flourish.
Celia Gray, Families for Children Service
Manager, said: “The city’s previous fostering and
adoption campaigns have been really high profile
and supported by people such as Billy Connolly and Sir
Alex Ferguson. Now we’re hoping this new campaign
will get Glasgow residents thinking about how families
come in all shapes and sizes.
“These days, our family trees have all sorts of buds
and branches – family isn’t just about DNA. Across
our city, children need families who will help them
to flourish. With the right foster carers or adoptive
parents, these children can get the chance to
grow, to flourish and to blossom.”
Glasgow student Stephanie McFarlane said: ‘‘I lived
with my foster carers from the age of eight for about
12 years. I call them my gran and granddad and
definitely think of them as family. My family tree
has really grown because of being fostered –
and so has theirs!
“I’m now at university studying for a degree
and I don’t think that would have happened
if I hadn’t been fostered. I’m really lucky that
I got the chance to flourish and to build a
good life for myself.”
Glasgow is the caring city. Could you help our
most vulnerable to children to put down roots?
FOSTERING AND ADOPTION – THE FACTS
• You don’t need to be married to foster or adopt
• You don’t need to own your own home
• You can be single, or in a same-sex relationship
• You can adopt if you are over 40
• You don’t always need to give up work
• You do need to have a spare room
• You get lots of training and support.

SKILLS FOR LIFE
“W
hen’s the next one?”
That’s the question mums
and dads are asking at
four primary schools in
Glasgow. They want to know when there will
be another parents’ night, because the last
one was so much fun.
Parents’ evenings for P5s at St Anne’s,
St Thomas’, St Michael’s and Dalmarnock
primary schools are very different this year.
They start with a meal – parents, pupils and
teachers from all four schools sitting down to
eat and talk.
“It’s a big family dinner,” said Louise Hamilton,
headteacher at St Anne’s. “When we did the
first one in January, we didn’t know if anyone
would come. We cooked for about 250 people,
and they turned up in droves – it was great.”
After dinner, the children take part in
activities run by play organisation PEEK, while
the adults have “grown-up talk”. They discuss
wellbeing and how to build relationships
along with hard-hitting issues such as gang
culture, violence and crime. The evenings
have included a former gang member talking
about what turned his life around, as well as
Q&A sessions, bingo and prizes.
It’s all part of A Community in Motion
(ACIM), a new initiative helping young people
and their parents gain the skills to improve
their chances in life. ACIM focuses on health,
happiness and hope, with the schools at the
centre of this community-wide programme.
Geraldine Parkinson is headteacher at St
Thomas’ and co-chair of ACIM. She explained
why she helped found the initiative with
“With the young
people, we talk
about friendship”
Louise: “We had parents coming to us
worried that their kids were going to get
into trouble. We’d had programmes before,
but they finished after a few weeks and they
didn’t involve the parents, so they didn’t
have much impact. We knew we needed
something that was long term and would
have a real legacy.”
The headteachers got in touch with the
Scottish Government’s Violence Reduction
Unit (VRU), which is now a key supporter.
Graham Goulden from the VRU helps lead
the pupils in sessions that concentrate on
topics such as name-calling and rumours.
The children are aged eight or nine, and the
discussions are carefully pitched at their level.
He said: “With the young people, we talk
about friendship because at the heart of all
violence is the breakdown of relationships.”
A Chief Inspector, Graham has been
a police officer for 28 years, but he
introduces himself as a dad and sits on
the floor with pupils while they squeeze
toothpaste on to pieces of paper and talk
about how, once it’s out, you can’t put it back
– a bit like harsh words.
ACIM will be evaluated by the University of
Glasgow, but the headteachers said it’s already
making a difference. “We see a change in how
the children act in the playground and how
they are speaking to each other,” said Louise.
“The children are very motivated,” added
Geraldine. “They’re encouraging their parents
and we’re seeing more and more of them at
the parents’ nights.”
Is it any wonder? The evenings are great fun.
In April, psychologist Dr Peter Lovatt, aka “Dr
Dance”, talked about how dancing improves
learning and self-esteem… then had everyone
joining in a giant conga line. Geraldine smiled:
“The atmosphere was electric.”

ACIM – A LASTING LEGACY
A Community in Motion (ACIM) began this year with P5 pupils and their parents. When
the current P5s move to P6 in the new school year, they will continue the programme
which will roll in to P7 and secondary school. It will help the young people develop the
skills to deal with ever-more challenging issues as they approach puberty and beyond.
The app can be used by businesses,
too. It is one element of Glasgow
City Council’s drive to give people
access to affordable energy, cut
carbon emissions and secure
sustainable energy supplies.
The council is setting up an energy
services company to oversee the
creation of district heating projects
in the city, similar to the one at the
Athletes’ Village. That system will
heat the 700 new east end homes
as well as the Emirates Arena.

to report issues such as fly tipping and potholes
immediately at the scene. The app then uses GPS
technology to pinpoint the precise location of the
report – making it easier for council staff to find
and fix issues.
Developed by Future City Glasgow, the
user-friendly app has added features which make it
more informative than the council’s previous app.
For the first time, users will receive feedback on
their reports. Emails will confirm receipt of their
report, then give the customer details of how
long it will take to resolve and inform them when
it has been completed.
MyGlasgow app users will also be able to add
photographs and video footage to their reports –
extra detail that will help the council handle the
matter quickly and efficiently.
The council will continue to add additional
features to the app in the future.
Customers will receive update emails for the
most common issues reported – including fly
tipping, potholes and street lighting outages.
These issues account for around 60 per cent
of reports to the council and were given priority
for development. Update emails will soon be
available for all other issues that can be reported
using the app.
Soon, people will also be able to check if a
matter has already been logged by someone else.
This should reduce the number of duplicate reports
received, which can clog up the system.
The previous MyGlasgow app had 14,000
users and the new higher-functioning upgrade is
expected to be even more popular.
Cllr Gordon Matheson, Leader of Glasgow City
Council and Chair of Future City Glasgow, said: “This
new, free app will make it more convenient for
people to play their part in helping us keep the city
looking its best and running efficiently.
“It’s free and easy to use and the new features
provide better feedback for customers as well as
giving the council precise information to work
from – this will enhance service provision and help
keep Glasgow looking smart. I’d urge everyone to
download the app and give it a try.”
The new MyGlasgow app can be downloaded for free
from Google Play and the App Store. Issues can still be
reported online at www.glasgow.gov.uk/MyGlasgowApp
or by calling the Clean Glasgow hotline on 0300 343 7027
and 0800 373 635 (for roads and lighting issues).
The local authority already has a
3MW wind turbine at Cathkin Braes
with more proposed. Future City
Glasgow is also scoping vacant sites
which might act as mini solar farms.
Data supplied by Glasgow Energy
app users will help create a 3D
energy map of the city, identifying
areas that would benefit most from
district heating or solar systems.

free from the App Store, Google Play
