Making the Most of Milngavie

Making the Most of Milngavie, who recently sent surveys to every household, are holding meetings on 9th & 11th June in Milngavie Town Hall at 7 p.m.  They hope people can come along to one of them.

Time at these meetings will be precious, so they would encourage you to get your thinking caps on beforehand.

Here's an idea of the themes around which they want to encourage debate and ideas:

Improving Community Support
Ideas to help those who are marginalised by age or health issues; befriending the housebound; involvement across the community; workplace experience opportunities; neighbourhood watch; respite for carers.

Improving Green Spaces
Developing local play areas; creation of allotments; improving public paths and walkways for all abilities; enhancing the reservoir area experience; making our sports pitches fit for purpose; a 'masterplan' for Lennox park.

Improving Public Amenities
Better use of CE centre for local activity groups; public toilets; renewable/hydro energy provision; a community social/meeting place; community cinema.

Improving Opportunities for Young People
Preschool toddler services; classes and learning; workplace experiences; facilities for young people; involvement across the community.

Improving the Range of Community Events and Gatherings
Community 'shop' for recycling and lending items; creative/cultural festivals; weekly Lennox Park-run; classes/further learning; Milngavie Week revisited; one stop website for community links and information.

MERA AGM

Our AGM will be held on Wednesday 10th June 2015 at 7.30 p.m. within Clober Primary School and we would extend an invitation to all residents to attend to find out what is going on.

The local police and community support officers will be there together with our local elected members, and there will also be a short presentation by local farmer Mr Andrew Graham of Tambowie farm regarding a renewable energy plant he is proposing.

There will be wine and nibbles.

Please come along if you can.
