Primarily because there’s a statutory obligation for Glasgow Council to consult us on some matters. That allows comment, and, if necessary opposition. Over 40 people were motivated enough about the proposed Traffic Regulation Order to attend our meeting in January, and we’ve been battling for clarity and coherence ever since. Without the Community Council there would only have been individual objections and the responses to those have been unsatisfactory.
The Council is also obliged to consult with us on planning and licensing applications, to which we can object. With no Community Council there’s no local oversight.
DCC holds nine ordinary meetings a year open to the public, which are attended by officials who offer updates and take questions. This includes councillors, police, and Council officials.
Over the years DCC has held larger special public meetings on assorted topics. Most frequently regarding Whitehill Pool. We united voices resulting in the first Save Whitehill Pool campaign and were instrumental in relaunching the group. It’s Dennistoun Community Council that’s recently brought together Community Councils throughout Glasgow in the Glasgow Community Councils Federation, giving a stronger voice to local needs throughout the city.
For many years Dennistoun Community Council has run events for the area’s primary school children, we’ve produced two versions of the Day Out in Dennistoun map, and the best received Facebook posts recently have been photographs of the area.
We would ask why people who care enough about the area to make that comment aren’t Community Councillors. If just three of the people who attended our meeting to complain about the Traffic Regulation Order became Community Councillors then we’d be able to continue.
Please consider it. As noted, the deadline on the form we’re linking to has been extended until Friday 9th October.
