Important announcement

Unforeseen operational resource challenges over the weekend mean that our food waste collection service is suspended today, Monday 3 November.

If your food waste bin was due to be emptied today, please take in your bin and present on the next collection day, Monday 10 November.

Green bin collections in a small number of streets in the Lenzie, Kirkintilloch and Bearsden area are also affected. If your green bin has not been emptied today, please leave it on the kerbside for collection tomorrow, Tuesday 4 November.

Our teams will be working hard to minimise the impact, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. 

Back

You may remember that at our Budget Meeting on Thursday 6 March 2025 we set out plans to move our Council Headquarters to Southbank House.

After a further review, a report was heard in private at Council last week to revise our accommodation strategy. The report was approved by Councillors which means we will now retain our HQ at Southbank Marina and instead vacate Southbank House.

The previously proposed move of all HSCP and Social Work employees from Southbank House to Kirkintilloch Health and Care Centre will progress as planned.

Southbank House will remain a non-operational Council asset and will be converted for commercial use, with tenants identified in due course.

The design phase of the project will continue throughout this year with the aim to vacate Southbank House and secure tenants in 2026.

Further information will be provided as the project progresses.

Thank you,

Ann Davie
Chief Executive
