Public asked to comment before plans are discussed by the Council
Scottish Ballet is a step closer to transforming a rundown part of Glasgow’s historic Tramway building into a £9million dance centre.
The company has lodged detailed plans with the city council to create its new headquarters in the building.
If the plans are approved, a disused section of the B-listed former tram depot - including the Pollokshaws Road facade - will be demolished.
Let the Strathbungo Society know
The Strathbungo Society has had reports of local residents having problems with the water supply since the recent works were carried out by Scottish Water - specifically, to do with water pressure, lack of hot water and interruptions to the central heating system.
We are now trying to find out how widespread this is so, to that end, if you have experienced any difficulties of this sort do send your details to us.
Meanwhile, we have been in touch with Scottish Water to ask how many people from Strathbungo have contacted them and they are either unable or unwilling to say. We are, they say, the first community group to ask for such information.
If you’ve had a problem and you’ve had to pay someone to come out and look at your system, you can make a claim for compensation against Scottish Water, but it must be in writing and quoting all the relevant details. The address to write to is:
Scottish Water
Customer Relations Department
Fairmilehead Office
55 Buckstone Terrace
EDINBURGH EH10 6XH
Please note: Scottish Water says that each case will be treated on an individual basis.

If there’s anything that has a sillier name than Strathbungo, surely it’s Google! Even so, it’s got much, much clearer in recent weeks to see the Bungo from Google’s miraculous 3D view of the planet.

Oooops … In the spring Strathbungo News unfortunately the telephone number is wrong in the ad for The Source, Maxine Paton’s great new hair and beauty salon that’s just opened at 14 Nithsdale Road.
What it should have said is Telephone 0141 424 3514
So please make a note of the correct number. And be sure you ring them up before 31 March if you want to take advantage of their excellent opening offer: Introduce a friend and you’ll both receive a 50 per cent discount on any chosen treatment when you bring along the ad from the Strathbungo News!
Nothing wrong with that …!
