Thank you to everyone who attended our General Meeting last night. Formal minutes to follow soon, but wanted to give a quick update on a some (but not all!) of the things we discussed:

Crossloan Road: The street is scheduled to receive a deep clean and cleaning of the gullys/drains on 2nd of June 2026. Parking Restrictions will be in place to give access to these works. We hope to see signage soon to give residents plenty of notice. If not in place soon, we will follow up.

Harmony Row/Golspie Street Traffic Lights Potholes: These have been flagged, and steps taken to provide a more permanent repair as temporary ones have failed. It has been booked, but we don't have a date yet.

Maslow's Community - Are holding four street parties in the summer with Get Govan Gleaming, these are with the goal of brightening up streets, community deep cleans, small street muraling, and everyone is welcome to pitch in. Will get more details soon, but follow Maslow's Community page to stay in touch.

Friends Of Elder Park - Are after more people to assist them with the finishing work in the Rose Garden and have too many other amazing projects on the go for me to list here. Please follow them, because if you want to help with the park and be part of a vital community project, you are more than welcome.

Our next meeting is scheduled for Monday 1st of June. More details to follow.

Play Area Renewals - Have your say.

Glasgow City Council is conducting a survey to get opinions on what residents would like to see, and Elder Park is included.

Full text from the survey: "Glasgow City Council is carrying out a Play Survey to support upcoming Play Area Renewal projects and we’d like to hear from you!
Your views on play and place will help us shape priorities that reflect the needs of your community. While projects depend on factors such as budget and site conditions, we aim to include your feedback wherever possible in future plans."

It can be filled out with the link below and is open for the next few weeks, but just fill it in now.

This is a concern we have raised at a recent community council meeting and will continue to raise on behalf of the residents of the Govan community…….

During Wednesday’s finance and audit scrutiny committee meeting Bailie Jim Kavanagh asked council officers if a schedule could be circulated in every ward and kept up to date.

❓Why not step out of your comfort zone and join a friendly group of folk who just want to make your neighbourhood a cleaner, more pleasant place to live!

❓ Why not ask a pal if they’d like to come along with you if you don’t fancy it on your own?

❓Why not give yourself that amazing wee glow of doing something really positive?

🙌 Join us on Saturday 2nd May at 10:30am to make a difference!

Great to see work continuing across greater Govan 🙏

Neighbourhood Teams have been in Helen St in Govan removing weeds, clearing leaves, cutting back overgrowth and removing litter to make sure the community looks its best 👏
