Aspire to attend August meeting
A representative from Aspire, the organisation responsible for the Queen Margaret Drive homeless unit, will be present at the August meeting (not June, as previously stated). This is a good opportunity to find out more about the facilities they provide, as well as how they, and their clients, integrate with our community.
Grants for local organisations
North Kelvin Community Council is keen to extend its role in the community, by supporting voluntary organisations in the area. So if you are a local voluntary group, in need of advice or a small amount of money to help affect change, then we'd like to hear from you.
Please contact Peter Blackshaw our Secretary.
Working with Clean Glasgow
UPDATE: Clean Glasgow has been busy in the area, many graffiti sites have been cleansed or painted over. Please continue to report problems.
If you would like to improve your street and neighbourhood, simply give us the details through our spreadsheet, and we will do the rest.
Glasgow Community & Safety Services provide a number of services to our community. Covering areas such as antisocial behaviour services, city centre task force, community security, environmental enhancement, community justice and young people and tackling violence against women.
Their Clean Glasgow campaign aims to make our city and every neighbourhood within it a cleaner, safer place. An important part of this task is the reporting of incidents, such as litter, dog fouling, graffiti, fly posting and illegal dumping. Neighbourhood Improvement Volunteers are also being sought; to help identify improvements which will benefit our community.
North Kelvin Community Council is working in partnership with Clean Glasgow to improve the North Kelvin area. Graffiti and tags are found throughout the neighbourhood, giving a negative impression of our community and surroundings. We would like your help to report instances of graffiti, so they can be collated and forwarded to Clean Glasgow for removal.
North Kelvin Community Council
Community councils are voluntary organisations responsible for representing local views to local and central government. There is additional information about how we operate and work with local government.
North Kelvin Community Council serves a diverse river and canal-side community containing a wide social mix. One third students, housed in Murano Street Complex and a large number of multiple occupancy properties. North Kelvin is also a largely ageing population.

North Kelvin Community Council are embracing these changes and working hard to positively influence its future direction.
