Our recent past activities include the following:
- Organised the annual Dennistoun Treasure Hunt for primary age children.
- Begun an investigation into various factoring practices that have been causing concern for local residents.
- Started work on a 'map and app project' that will promote the things that Dennistoun has to offer to residents and visitors alike.
- Submitted a detailed consultation response arguing against the alleged possible closure of Duke Street railway station.
- Collated extensive information on numerous potholes which have since been remedied.
- Developed a formal Action Plan detailing aims of specific activities to focus on.
- Hosted a Big Lunch picnic event in Buffalo Bill Square where neighbours came together to meet each other.
- Held public meetings on local public transport, with representatives from First Glasgow and SPT.
- Responded to various planning and licensing applications submitted to Glasgow City Council.
- Created the Save Our Sorting Office campaign in repsonse to the proposed closure of the Cubie Street depot (which did indeed close, but we succeeded in pressuring Royal Mail into being more open about the changes, and the issue was subsequently raised at council and parliament level in order that future closure proposals are made much more transparent).
- Supported Market Gallery and Dennistoun Diggers as associate members.
- Promoted a range of local projects, events, and initiatives organised by organisations in Dennistoun and the adjacent Glasgow East End area.
