Strathclyde Cycle Campaign
Pedal on Parliament is just over a week away now and you can help them raise some much needed funds to help the running of the days by purchasing one of this years t-shirts. Not only that but by wearing one you will help spread the word and look pretty swanky while you’re at it.
Head on over here to put your orders in and check out the amazing new design from Magnificent Octopus.
With only three weeks to go Pedal on Parliament need your help to get the word out there that this is happening on Saturday 28th April – just over two weeks to go!! Protests will also happen in Inverness on the 28th and Aberdeen the following day on Sunday 29th.
Head on over to their page to see how you can help.
We will be there – will you?
Byres Road – once a vibrant and eclectic place to visit, shop & congregate is in gradual decline. Street stalwarts such as The Sentry Box Toy Shop have been forced to close their doors & small indie businesses are struggling to survive.
Media reports & public debate often cite lack of parking spaces as a factor. Elsewhere Carnaby Street in London, the Latin Quarter in Paris, Stroget in Denmark & our very own Buchanan Street are bustling – but very much catering for people rather than vehicles.
Consultations on the proposed redevelopment of Byres Road are nearing completion. However will slight tweaks to the status quo really provide it with the transformation locals, visitors and businesses need? Continue reading “Guest Blog – The Business Case for Byres Road”

On Friday we shared with you Friends of the Earth Scotland’s response to the proposals Glasgow City Council has put forward for their Low Emission Zones. We are in full agreement that these fall way below standards likely to make a difference to the illegal levels of pollution in our city.
