Clydebank Shopping Centre has won a top Eco Award. 
The centre is now officially the greenest in Scotland, having secured first place in the commercial category of The Green Apple Environmental Awards.
Clydebank Shopping Centre has reduced electricity by 25%, over the past year.  Overall the carbon footprint of the centre has been reduced by 28.55 per cent, as calculated by the trust.
Centre Manager Andrew Forrester says "staff at every level have contributed to this reduction and to the recycling drive, which has led to 222 tonnes of waste being diverted from landfill over a year.  Being named as Scotland's best commercial entry in these high profile environmental awards is a wonderful endorsement of the work carried out at Clydebank shopping Centre".

Clydebank Shopping Centre pick up Safer Shopping Award

Clydebank Shopping Centre is celebrating receiving an important safety award for the first time from the Scottish Business Crime Centre (SBCC).
Andrew Forrester Centre Manager said "This is a very important award and one that everyone connected with the centre has worked hard to achieve.  The award means the standards  and procedures are in place to offer one of the most important things to our customers - a safe shopping environment.  It also recognises the good working relationship that we have with the police, local authority and our retailers.  Our aim for Clydebank Shopping Centre is to attract more retailers and in turn making the centre a more desirable place to shop and to visit.
This of course has wider benefits for the whole town by bringing in more visitors to the area from further afield".

The Safer Shopping Award lasts for two years.

Clydebank Shopping Centre is going to new lenths to tackle the the frightning moment when children vanish in the crowd. The project aims to ensure youngsters that wander off or become lost are easily reunitted with their parent or guardian - thanks to a wrist band. Children who register with Clydebanks Shopping centre's new Harry the Otter Kids Club are given a membership number that logs their details, including an an emergency contact phone number. This number is then printed on the free wristband and put on the child when they check in at the centre's new customer service desk, qat the junction of Sylvania Way and Britannia Way.The Shop safely with Harry scheme, for children aged three to ten, means staff can identify them quickly if something happens. Centre Manager Andrew Forrester said "Safety and Security is our priority so we decided to launch this initiative, all our retailers and staff support the scheme,which  has been designed to ensure that children are quickly and easily reunited with their loved ones should they become seperated" .......   Pleas click link below

Segway!! Comes to Clydebank!!

The Hour's Bruce Devlin headed to the Clydebank Shopping Centre in Dunbartonshire, Scotland, to learn how to be a security officer Paul Blart style.

The Clydebank Shopping Centre  offers Segway as a mode of transport to their security officers. The shopping centre is over half a mile long so this new mode of transport means that they can get to any situation faster and are more obvious to the shoppers if they are needed.

The Hour sent Bruce Devlin along to try his hand at being a mall cop. He met up with Alex, a security officer who has recently been trained how to use the Segway.

He told Bruce that to be a security officer he would have to be polite and be good at first aid and mouth-to-mouth. Bruce wasn't too happy to hear that and joked, "I've never been kissed, like Susan Boyle."

He would also have to be good at customer service, have good customer relations and most importantly be clean shaven and have a smart appearance. Not much like Bruce at all.

Alex showed Bruce the Segway and told him: "It's all about your balance. You lean forward to go."

Bruce wasn't too impressed by it and thought it looked like a motorised pogo stick. He got kitted out in a uniform, a badge and a hat and pimped up his Segway with a pink feather boa. "It's the only way to be visible," he told Alex.

As Bruce made his way around the shopping mall he spoke to the customers and had one of them run out of a shop so he could chase her. Very professional.

So how did his first day go? "I think it went well," he told Alex. "I helped people, showed them where the shops were, I spoke to them, I was everything you asked me. Have I got the job?"

It was a no for now but Bruce decided to keep his Segway.
