Work to begin on 15 new homes in East Dunbartonshire
East Dunbartonshire Council has confirmed the properties will be built on derelict land beside the Forth and Clyde Canal, at the northern entrance to the village. Construction is scheduled to start in August and is expected to be completed by September 2026.

"They will all meet Passivhaus standards, maximising energy efficiency and minimising heat demand – cutting carbon emissions whilst also helping to address fuel poverty by reducing fuel bills for our tenants." The development is part of the council's Affordable Housing Investment Programme, which aims to deliver more than 300 homes across nine sites. The Twechar homes will be built to Passivhaus standards, an approach that will see design and the construction materials focus on maximising energy efficiency and cutting carbon emissions. The project is located next to the council's recently completed Twechar Outdoor Pursuits Centre. The scheme has completed the pre-construction phase and will be delivered through the SCAPE Scotland Construction Framework. The total cost of the project is estimated at just under £8.8 million. Funding will come from the council's Five Year Housing Capital Investment Plan and the Scottish Government's Affordable Housing Supply Programme. The wider site, including the outdoor centre, has also benefited from the Vacant and Derelict Land Fund, which supported remediation costs.

Fury as abuser Chris Brown gets to play Hampden while Kneecap axed from TRNSMT
Chris Brown will perform to thousands of fans at Scotland's national stadium on Tuesday despite his history of assault and domestic violence. Women's groups are furious that convicted domestic abuser Chris Brown will play Hampden – while Irish rappers Kneecap were axed from TRNSMT. R'n'B star Brown, 36, will perform to thousands of fans at Scotland's national stadium on Tuesday despite his history of assault and domestic violence. In 2009, Brown was sentenced to five years probation and community service for attacking ex Rihanna. The Bajan star was pictured with a split lip after Brown hit her. The move came after calls by John Swinney to axe the Irish hip hop act, with the First Minister saying the political rhetoric 'crossed the line'. Kneecap band member Mo Chara was charged with a terror offence over allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag at a gig in London last November. Jenni Snell, CEO of Scotland's Young Women's Movement, said: 'It is deeply disappointing that performers with histories of violence against women are able to play major, national venues like Hampden Park. 'With the recent context of Kneecap being dropped by TRNSMT following controversy sparked by a political campaign against them, we are forced to question why a known domestic abuser playing a major Glasgow venue has not generated any controversy whatsoever. 'When you consider TRNSMT and Chris Brown's UK tour are run by the same promoter, it's only right these double standards are scrutinised.' Scots promoter DF Concerts –behind next month's TRNSMT festival in Glasgow Green – is a subsidiary of Live Nation which is organising Brown's tour. The singer has been able to continue performing despite appearing in court this month over an alleged bottle attack against a man at a London nightclub in 2023. Brown has pleaded not guilty and was freed on conditional bail. Domestic abuse charity Glasgow Women's Aid accused the entertainment industry of repeatedly 'turning a blind eye' to violence against women. The group said: 'Kneecap were recently removed from a UK festival line-up because of political views. They were deemed too controversial and dropped from the bill. Yet artists accused of repeated violence against women continue to tour, headline and profit with little pushback. 'Promoters, venues and sponsors claim to stand against violence against women but continue to hand a mic to men who harm.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Male Allies Challenging Sexism (MACS), which has been running its #NoAbusersOnStage campaign since 2023, said: 'Chris Brown's booking at Hampden underlines how accepted male violence against women is in our society. "Within the music industry and the general public the vast majority of people won't care enough about Chris Brown being a violent abuser. Promoters and venues will be more interested in making money and his fans will care more about his music than his 'past actions'." Snell added: 'We're currently seeing a rise in sexism across society, driven by misogynistic influencers, celebrities and politicians in an increasingly vitriolic landscape… 'We need to be mindful of the message we send to young women about how they are valued in society when domestic abusers are celebrated, and of the message this sends to young men too.' Glasgow City Council said its role is to 'ensure events are safe and properly organised', adding: 'Any issues in relation to an act performing at an event are a matter for the promoter of the event.' DF Concerts, Brown and Kneecap were contacted for comment.

'Her voice is our gift to world' - 10 best gigs in July in Scotland
Alhambra Theatre, Dunfermline, July 17 Lulu's career has always been a weird mismatch of hipster moments - the glory of her 1967 hit To Sir With Love, her time recording at Muscle Shoals, teaming up with Bowie - and long stretches of light entertainment-flavoured misfortune; the wavering accent, her Eurovision entry Boom Bang a-Bang and having to welcome the likes of Vince Hill and Roy Castle onto her 1970s TV show It's Lulu (though to be fair she also got to introduce Bill Withers, Roberta Flack and Aretha Franklin too). Her reputation is probably just one well-curated retrospective away from being positively reframed. (If in any doubt take a listen to Where's Eddie on her 1970 album New Routes; the best thing she's ever done?) You can decide between yourselves if her contribution to Take That's Relight My Fire makes the cut. Anyway, at 76, Lulu is currently in the midst of a long farewell tour that sees her turn up in Dunfermline this month. It's a chance to remind ourselves that her voice remains one of Glasgow's great gifts to the world. We should celebrate it more. Read more: Scotland's 10 best summer festivals that are not the Edinburgh Festival Sophie B Hawkins King Tut's, Glasgow, July 2 You couldn't want for a more intimate venue for the American singer-songwriter now celebrating the 30th anniversary of her second album Whaler (actually released in 1994). Hawkins carries the mistaken label of one-hit wonder for the success of her 1992 single Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover, but Whaler was home to Right Beside You which was also a top 20 hit in the UK. I suspect she'll play both on this visit to Glasgow. Alanis Morissette OVO Hydro, Glasgow, July 5 It's not always remarked upon, but while British pop (or to be more specific Britpop) was going all 'we're going to live forever,' in 1995, its North American equivalent was an angrier affair. Grunge hadn't disappeared and the Riot Grrrl movement was still a force, after all. And then Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette announced herself to the world in 1995 with the exhilaratingly ferocious You Oughta Know, the lead single from her multi-million-selling Jagged Little Pill album and one of the great, snarky revenge songs against straying boyfriends. ('And every time I scratch my nails/Down someone else's back, I hope you feel it.') Thankfully, Morissette's life has moved on a bit in the interim, but she comes to Glasgow fresh from Glastonbury with Liz Phair in support. A chance to relive some righteous 1990s feminist anger perhaps. Billie Eilish OVO Hydro, Glasgow, July 7 & July 8 And two days later in the same venue… Eilish is still only 23, but she already has a decade of music-making, three albums and a raft of awards (including a couple of Oscars and nine Grammys) behind her. For someone who has been described as the 'ultimate bedroom artist', concocting her music in the comfy familiarity of her own home, she has proved more than capable of translating the results for an arena audience (in 2022 she became the youngest ever headliner at Glastonbury). This is pop music a quarter of the way through the 21st century. Kendrick Lamar and SZA Hampden Park, Glasgow, July 8 You might say the same of the recordings of Kenrick Lamar, of course. The rapper is taking a break from his ongoing beef with Drake to team up with singer-songwriter SZA - fresh from their Super Bowl appearance together - for a world tour. If you want to get a sense of where black America is right now… Summer Classics: The Scottish Chamber Orchestra The Town House, Hamilton, July 17; Castle Douglas Town Hall, July 18; Ayr Town Hall, July 19 The SCO is on manoeuvres in the west of Scotland in July with performances in Hamilton, Castle Douglas and Ayr. The programme includes Haydn's Symphony No 80 in D Minor, Beethoven's Symphony No 4 in B-Flat and the world premiere of Rewired, a concerto for soprano saxophone and chamber orchestra composed by Jay Capperauld, recent cover star of this very magazine. Lewis Banks is the solo saxophonist for these evenings and the orchestra will be conducted by Jonathan Bloxham.

Steele, who cut his teeth playing with Hue & Cry back in the 1980s, has been one of Scottish jazz's most reliable pleasures; a trumpet player who has explored the music of Miles Davis and the songbooks of Joni Mitchell and Scotland's own Pearlfishers. This should be a good reminder of his musical adventurousness. C Duncan Tolbooth, Stirling, July 19 This special one-off show in Stirling celebrates the 10th anniversary of Architect ('classical meets dreampop,' according to the Guardian in 2015), the Mercury-nominated debut album of the classically trained Glaswegian multi-instrumentalist C Duncan. Any excuse to take in his hazy romanticism should always be seized. Public Image Ltd Kelvingrove Bandstand, Glasgow, July 29 Now, it would seem, permanently estranged from his fellow Sex Pistols (who replaced him with singer Frank Carter on their own recent trip to Glasgow), John Lydon is still touring the world with his other band PiL and still playing the role of the world's most willful contrarian. Lydon has had a rough couple of years, losing his wife Nora and his manager and best friend John 'Rambo Stevens'. But he remains committed to playing live, and onstage he remains the blustering, bolshy presence he's always been. Take that as a threat or a promise. He's right about one thing, though. PiL were always a better band than the Pistols. Teenage Fanclub Kelvingrove Bandstand, Glasgow, July 31 Two nights later (with Anastacia sandwiched in between), it's the turn of Bellshill's favourite sons to play the Bandstand. Teenage Fanclub remain what they have always been: a guitar band with an ear for a hook and an ability to make music that can make you feel happy and sad at the same time. They are soaringly melancholic, if you like. This seems as good a way as any to see out July.
