Pollok Park Campaign - Update
The Save Pollok Park campaign was in full swing when the latest newsletter went to press but we’re hoping to keep the blog up to date with news. If you want to find out more about the issues please read the Save Pollok Park PDF which was presented at a meeting at Pollokshields Burgh Hall earlier this month.
The current aim of the campaigners is to have the Scottish Ministers grant a “call-in” and this can only be done if the group can demonstrate that the application was not properly dealt with by the Council and new issues have arisen. Save Pollok Park PDF

Gardener
A year or two ago we enjoyed the services of an excellent gardener who lived in Queen Square. I cannot recall her name or address, but she had suffered a serious road accident in the recent past. Could anyone put us in touch with her, with a view to her resuming work for us?
