Love ebikes opens in Thornwood

love-ebikes ltd Scotland’s newest dedicated, specialist and independent electric bicycle shop has recently opened at 694 Dumbarton Road, Thornwood, Glasgow G11 6RB.

From city ebikes, trekking to folding, to mountain ebikes and even cargo electric bikes, they love them all. They offer you a hand-picked selection of what they believe are the best electric cycles on the market and even have carbon trekking ebikes, the only shop in Scotland to stock these.

The shop isn’t your usual high street bike shop. They offer something a bit different, a slant on an more traditional bike shop with a contemporary feel to it. They are a member of the cycle to work scheme (cycle scheme) so if your employer offers this service then come in and have a chat and they can see how much money you can save.

They are open from 10am to 6pm Tue, Wed, Fri and Sat and from 10am to 8pm Thu and 12pm to 4pm Sun – closed on a Monday.

You can find contact details on their website love-ebikes.co.uk and follow day to day goings on via their Facebook page.

£10 of credit for S1 pupils!

Glasgow City Council has come up with a unique and innovative way as part of a bid to halt the rise of high-cost payday lenders – they have given every S1 pupil in the city the opportunity to have £10 deposited with a local credit union.

The Future Savers scheme, launched by Glasgow City Council is the first of its kind in the UK. Every young Glaswegian will be given an account with a safe community credit union as part of a bid to halt the rise of high-cost payday lenders.

Our Economic Impact

Following on from the publication earlier in the year of our first Environmental Impact Report we have recently produced a similar report but this time looking at our economic impact.

A lot of the monitoring and evaluation that we do relates to the social impacts and the difference our work makes to people’s lives. However as an Environment Trust we are very aware that both our environmental and economic impacts also contribute to our vision of vibrant, thriving and resilient communities and our mission to protect and enhance the local environment and to increase the wellbeing and resilience of local people and communities.
