Local Place Plan

Our Local Place Plan that shouts about Anderston and what matters to us.

AM logo

Land, buildings, streets and green spaces shape how we live in a place – what should happen in Anderston?

 

What you want matters. Please take 10 – 15 minutes to give your thoughts.
Tell us three things to help build the plan:
What does Anderston need? How do we fix the challenges we’re facing in our place?
What does Anderston want? How do we create a brighter future for our place?
What Anderston says ‘No thanks’ to? What do we want to protect our place from?

It’s ok if you want to talk about more then just land and buildings – if it’s connected to place it’s important too.

Do this on the survey form HERE.

If you have ideas for specific locations – you can use Place Check to put these on a digital map. Place Check is an interactive map that allows communities to make notes on their place by using digital map pins.

What is a Local Place Plan (LPP)?

• It’s a new way to tell the Council’s planning team your ideas and vision for your community.
• It’s an opportunity to say what you want and need from existing and future land and buildings.
• It gives you stronger voice in shaping the future of your area and meeting the community’s needs.
• Glasgow City Council has to consider including the ideas in our LPP in the next City City Development Plan (CDP)

Who is writing the Plan?
Anderston Community Council, G3 Litter-Free and the Pyramid have formed a steering group to develop the plan. They will ask everyone in the community to give their views and ideas.

What will be in the Plan?
Anything that you think will improve Anderston as a place to live, work and visit. We need you to tell us what. Over the next few months, we’ll be asking local folk for their ideas about how to make our town an even better place. And we’ll be working with you to develop it into a Plan to make it happen.

The final Plan might include:

  • How you want Anderston to look in 10 years’ time.
  • Keeping existing initiatives going, ideas for starting new ones, starting new ones, or developing local services and facilities.
  • What we need for businesses to thrive in Anderston.
  • Suggested projects to help Anderston become more sustainable and deal with the impacts of climate change
  • Big ideas to help connect Anderston to the rest of the city and make it a liveable place for all its residents.

Please note that all the hard work put in by local people into supporting the Liveable Neighbourhood – Yorkhill to Anderston Plan will be drawn on to form this Local Place Plan.

Why should I get involved?
This is a chance to shape the future of Anderston for ourselves, our friends and family, and our grandchildren and beyond. We have inherited a place that local citizens have helped shape and make better for us. We can’t pay that back, but we can pay it forward with our time and passion.

Will my idea be in the Plan?
That’s the aim! There will be many different ideas because Anderston is a home and a work-place to so many different people. We will work to identify together ideas that will have significant impact and be beneficial. We’d like to get input from as many people as possible. We’ll encourage discussion by being available at public events and going direct to local groups to the best of our ability and capacity.

When will the Plan be complete?
We are aiming to have the plan completed by June 2025.
