The latest newsletter from East Dunbartonshire Council's Land Planning Team has been published on the Council's website at http://www.eastdunbarton.gov.uk  The newsletter gives an update on the Local Development Plan.

The association spoke with the Council recently about street litter bins and bins in local parks. These bins are emptied now only as and when required; all of the Council's waste disposal staff are meant to empty these bins as they go about their jobs. We will need to be vigilant and if there is a bin which needs emptied we should all feel free to contact the Council and let them know.

We can expect to see accumulations of leaves in the estate being cleared over the next few days and into next week.

A public consultation meeting on Phase 2 of the Bears Way Cycle Way is being held on Thursday, 19th November from 03.00 pm to 08.00 pm. It is being held in Kessington Hall. It is a drop-in session.

A consultation meeting on Improving People's Services in North West Glasgow is being held on Tuesday 17th November in Yoker Community Campus from 06.00 pm to 08.00 pm.
