With the forthcoming elections providing the potential for big changes at Glasgow City Council, the campaign has written to every potential candidate within the Canal ward to request their support for our campaign and to help us save the land.

Crucially we have asked them to agree to the core objectives of our campaign: that Glasgow City Council immediately revisits its decision to sell the land for housing; that it acknowledge the Meadow’s current role as a key open space; and that it fully and openly consults with the local community over ways in which the land can be maintained as a permanent open greenspace for the benefit of the whole community.

In a few days time, prior to the election, all responses provided to us will be published here, on our web site, and will be circulated to our list of volunteers and friends via email.
