We know that most of our members are concerned about the extent of on-road parking in the city, and this week we have two items on parking – see items 1.3 and 3.1. We have responded on a new Concordat between Glasgow City Council and the Third Sector (see item 1.1), and we hope that its implementation will bring changes to the current lack of early meaningful consultation, that all too often leaves us with objecting to a Traffic Regulation Order as our only option. For the good news on segregated routes, see our items on Connecting Woodside, the Argyle Street Avenue and Bunhouse Road. Continue reading “Consultation Digest Issue 13. Parking – we are not amused, but some good news on segregated cycle lanes”

GoBike are looking for a couple of people to join our team of Web Group volunteers, who keep our website ticking over.
Do you have web developer skills with WordPress experience, a few hours a month to give, and want to help? We’d love to hear from you! Please drop our co-convenors a line on convenor (at) gobike.org with a couple of sentences about your experience and what time you might have available to help.
Thanks team!
On Wednesday 27th June 2018, GoBike committee member Calum Cook met Soryia Siddique, one of the Labour councillors for Southside Central ward to take her a tour of the cycling infrastructure in her local area.

Join us once again for our monthly bike ride this month to the sunny North Ayrshire Coast.
We will ride out through Paisley and along the NCN 7 path for lunch in Kilwinning. After lunch we will follow the North Ayrshire coast around Saltcoats, Ardrossan to Portencross, including using an award-winning level crossing. There will be options to return by train from Kilwinning, West Kilbride or Largs, and some adventurous riders may even continue over the hill back towards Glasgow. 50 miles to Largs, with options for returning by train from various stations before then.

We now have the first traffic regulation order for the proposals put forward by Yorkhill and Kelvingrove Community Council. This is a very pro-active community council, working hard to improve the area and keep residents informed (see 1.6). This is also your last chance to comment on the notorious Byres Road proposals, so please read on.
The unplanned preview on Sunday of this Digest gave you a taste of what was to come, but review and completion have introduced changes from item 1.3 onwards, so there’s more for you to read – and take action on. Continue reading “Consultation Digest Issue 12, the full version, 26 June 2018, Community Activity around Kelvinhall and proposed buildouts and speed cushions impeding cycling near Glasgow Green”
Hiya folks.
Just a reminder that the Byres Road public consultation closes on Wednesday 27th June. If you’ve not got your response in yet we would urge you to do so if you feel that properly segregated cycling is required in the plans. As a reminder, our response which you can use some of if you need is here.
The plans are online here, and the survey for responding to the consultation is here.
Thanks so much for your time and support on this.
Apologies; not sure what happened there, but Consultation Digest 12 was published in error. As per usual, the final version will be out on Tuesday.
