RUBY (Regenerating Urban Back Yards)
We are launching a campaign to celebrate our ruby anniversary that will provide either funding, people or materials to dramatically restore or improve run-down community spaces. To mark the milestone of reaching four decades in business, and give back to the communities in which we operate, we are launching RUBY (Regenerating Urban Back Yards). How does it work? You are encouraged to nominate an outdoor space in severe need of improvement. A judging panel comprising your divisional Managing Director will vote for the most deserving cause through our social media channels. The winning projects could include a memorial statue or park bench, a piece of outdoor art or sculpture, the upgrade of a children’s play park or the creation of a new green space or outdoor place for elderly people to enjoy, the renovation of a local pocket park or even repairs to the green space of a local school. Giving something back For forty years we have been building homes for people in a variety of communities. We have benefited from the communities in which we work and, as part of marking this significant milestone, we want to give something back to those communities. A home is about much more than the house itself; it’s about a safe and attractive place to live and enjoy with a mix of amenities. Communal outdoor places are important for everyone from children to the elderly, but in some areas there is a lack of pleasant outdoor spaces, or eyesores which need a bit of love and attention. Our campaign aims to lavish a bit of love on these spaces. Whether it’s providing landscape gardeners to design and plant colourful flower beds, or tradespeople to re-build a wall and carry out repairs, or providing materials for a children’s activity park, we will consider all types of projects which will benefit as many people as possible. Get involved We will not be able to help every individual or group, and will give priority to communities in which we have developments, but we have allocated significant resources to this campaign and will endeavour to support projects which have the greatest impact on their community. http://www.stewartmilne.com/ruby.aspx Amanda Waugh MRTPI MIEMA CEnv Place Strategy & Environmental Infrastructure DRS Development Plan Glasgow City Council 231 George Street Glasgow G1 1RX e. [email protected] Reminders were sent out to more than 180,000 households in the city last week as part of the Council’s annual household enquiry canvass to establish who is eligible to vote.
At the beginning of August every household in Glasgow received a household enquiry form detailing the information the council holds on who is currently registered to vote at that address. People were asked to respond to this letter no matter if their details had stayed the same or if things had changed in the household. Only one person in the household needs respond and provide information but they must provide details of all the residents. People can reply online at www.register-online.co.uk or by phone, post and in some cases by text. The reminder explains what to do and how to do this. Responding to this letter however does not register new electors in the household. Individual Electoral Registration requires each person not already on the voters’ role to register themselves. The electoral registration system changed in September 2014 to a new system of Individual Electoral Registration (IER). Now every individual is responsible for their own voter registration. If you have responded to their household enquiry form and advised there are new electors in the household, these individuals will also have to complete an individual registration application. This can be done online at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote or by phoning 0141 287 4444. An email from Deafblind Scotland
From WRA ([email protected]) 11/09/2015 At Deafblind Scotland we are currently running a project called “Connect to Welfare Rights”, which is aiming to make welfare rights more accessible for deafblind and visually impaired adults. The project is being run in eleven local authorities including Glasgow. Through the project we can: · Provide welfare rights information in different formats · Provide advice & support · Assist with completing forms · Carry out benefit checks · Maximise income for people living with a sensory impairment · Assist with any enquiries regarding equal access and your rights as a sensory impaired adult. We are trying to raise awareness of the project within local communities and would be grateful if you could highlight this to the Hutchesontown Community Council. If anyone within your Community Council constituency requires assistance or if you would like any further information please contact myself or Helen Campbell on [email protected] or 0141 777 5828.
