After months of collective punishment and the death of over 40,000 in Gaza, any suggestion Palestinians should be removed from their home is unacceptable and dangerous. There must be no ethnic cleansing. Only a proper two state solution will bring lasting peace.

Langside Library will close tomorrow (Sat 1 Feb) at 5pm to undergo major refurbishment through funding from GCC's Community Asset Fund. During this time alternative libraries are Couper Institute, Govanhill and Pollokshaws. Find out more: glasgowlife.org.uk/libraries/venu…

Some more images of the proposed changes to Glasgow’s long-forlorn inter-pontal riverside. Looks great! The zigzagging riverbank of Carlton Place is a bit jarring but creates some welcome usable space there

Hopefully you’ll know we’ve been developing a vision and identifying possible projects in Mount Florida over the next 10-15 years. Our final community consultation is on 11 Feb in Hampden. If you live or work in Mount Florida please drop in and tell us what you think.

@vivienlamb4 @Shawlands_pri @southsidehap @ScottishCinemas @GlasgowCREATE @GovanhillGo @stephenoneil @HeritageFundSCO @HistEnvScot @Govanhill_mag @HeritageFundUK @shawlandspripc Thanks! We were bowled over by what the pupils produced over just a few art classes, and the attendees and Community Panel were hugely impressed too. So much creativity inspired by our #Glasgow #ArtDeco landmarks & personality in their creations made w/ recycled materials ♻️🥰💚

Happy Saint Andrew's Day.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Our choir went 'gigging' round some of our partners in Govanhill yesterday to entertain them. 6 languages amongst them and all singing in Scots. We think they did a braw job! #eallearners @GlasgowCREATE @GovanhillGo

From @Govanhill_mag : Tackling tenement retrofit challenges in Glasgow Unlike many European countries, Scotland lacks mandatory owners’ associations, leaving tenants and flat owners to navigate the complexities of retrofitting on their own. With legislative changes years away, the question remains, how can communities take action now to green-proof their homes for the future? scottishbeacon.com/news/community…
