improvement works taking place in the play park

Some good news. We've been waiting nearly a year so it's joyous to see work starting on our play park. This comes down to the local Area Partnership and the Neighbourhood Infrastructure Improvement Fund making the money available. Thank you.

Update Monday 11th May: When asked about a completion date the team working in the park said, "Three weeks".

Third time lucky?
We've been trying for six months to get this trip hazard repaired. Fingers crossed this repair will last longer than the last one.

If you have been reading the updates on Love Thornwood you will know that Jamie and Shaun have been out and about making our community more presentable. A big thank you to you both.

Some pictures of Jamie and Shaun at work.

Thornwood Community Council would like to thank the Community Policing Team and their colleagues for the work they do in keeping us safe.

two pictures: the remains of broken bollards and the installation of new bollards.

These broken bollards in Beith Street have been reported multiple times. The first report was submitted at least 18 months ago. Last year we were wrongly told they had been fixed. Now, at last, the trip hazards have been removed and the new bollards are being installed. Thank you.

Thornwood Community Council would like to thank the Area Partnership for funding some small improvements to the school play area. Paint for some of the structures and fresh sand for the sand pit.

It is frustrating that there are so many blocked drains so soon after they were all meant to be cleared. We are trying to get it sorted.

See the ones we have identified so far.

Streetlight first not working then working

We reported this light as not working in November, chased it in January, and in February we were told it would be sorted by 'late spring'. Well, now, a little ahead of time, the light has just be sorted. Thanks GCC. It's appreciated.

February 2026

Notice that park is closed for health and safety reasons

Good news. Along with our elected councillors we've been pushing to get our play park fixed. We have now been told that the new play equipment is on order and they anticipate installation will take place in late April. This will also include the replacement of the play surface.

January 2026

We reported the sinkhole on the footpath in Maule Drive. Someone then made a botched repair. GCC say they have no record of anyone attending but have now told us it will be repaired by the first week of March.

UPDATE 22nd April: It has finally been repaired.

This street light on Dumbarton Road has been out for some time. It has been reported. The latest is that the cause is a cable fault and will be repaired soon.

UPDATE 6th March: The light is back on.

Recently there has been a lot of traffic management materials left across the area. With the help of our elected representatives we got it cleared away.

December 2025

Thornwood Community Council would like to give a shout out to Glasgow City Council’s Parks and Green Space Team for their outstanding work in revitalising an area of long-neglected land at the bottom of Broomhill Drive. We are seeking ways to develop this area further.

We have had some success getting Virgin Media to either repair or replace their broken cable boxes. Six, so far. These before and after pictures are from Kildonnan Drive and Exeter Drive.

If you want to report a broken Virgin Media box you can do so on this Virgin Media Community Forum (registration required).

White lines have been appearing on corners around Thornwood. Since last January it has been an offence to parked at dropped kerbs and cars are being ticketed. Most dropped kerbs in Thornwood are at the corners. We asked for markings to make things clearer for drivers.

November 2025

This sinkhole has been cordoned off for weeks. Nothing seems to be getting done. We've reported it and we have our elected representatives chasing things.

UPDATE DEC: Now sorted

October 2025

We reported this road sign and the Glasgow roads team cleaned it. Thanks GCC, we appreciate it.

We reported the graffiti on the bin and GCC's graffiti team removed it. If only we could do something about the vape stickers.

September 2025

Thornwood Community Green is now a registered charity.
