The Strathbungo Society

The Strathbungo Society in its present form began in 1994, reconstituting the moribund Strathbungo Conservation Society. You can read a pamphlet from the old society (PDF, 6Mb) that details some history of the society and the conservation area. The new society also broadened its aims to include community events and outward-looking incomers - young families, professionals, media and art, activists.

The society is run by a committee of volunteers, who meet on the third Monday of every month at 7.30pm. The venue is Grianach at 38 Nithsdale Road. The Events section lists upcoming meetings. The committee hears from sub-groups on communications, events, the environment, Queens Park, etc. Importantly, the Strathbungo Society is not a community council and is not affiliated to any other public or private sector organisation.

The society runs a year-round calendar of events and publishes a quarterly newsletter. An Awards for All grant in 2003 helped fund various heritage programmes. Otherwise, the society is supported by membership subscriptions, newsletter advertising and the odd coins from a grateful community.

    On Saturday afternoon (April 26th.) I had to obtain the right stamps for a package from the main Post Office near the Co-op in Pollokshaws Road. I had to wait in a queue for at least 15 minutes. There were only two cashiers on duty. When I spoke to my cashier I asked her whether the management would be increasing the staff or the number of open ’tills’ at that post office, given that the post office off Darnley Road had closed and the level of demand could be expected to increase. ‘No’, she said, ‘the powers that be have said NO!’

    If the initial protest campaign got nowhere, is there scope for bringing pressure to bear on the quality of service which will be provided hereafter?
