We’re asking people to dress in green for the gathering, we’ll meet outside the City Chambers at 10:45. For local people there will be a bus leaving the meadow and wood at 10:15am and taking people to George Square and back again after the committee meeting (which starts at 11am). Because we will not have an opportunity to speak at the hearing on Tuesday we’re asking people to make placards requesting a site visit and a hearing and to show the level of support and engagement for the land and what happens on it.

North Kelvin Meadow and The Children’s Wood has become an essential part of the community, helping to meet 21st century educational and community needs like tackling low levels of child-well-being, the achievement gap, food poverty, mental and physical health problems and much more. If we take away the meadow and wood then the impact will be enormous on the wider community. We have plans to do more for the community and build on what we have achieved already and we could do so much more with support from the administration of Glasgow City Council.

Please spread the word about Tuesday and join us in George Square!’

The Council should be delighted that North Kelvin Meadow and the Children’s Wood exists and fits so well with their Green City aims.

It’s good to know that ” The city is building on its established strengths in world class engineering and education to nurture a low carbon economy which will not only deliver a better environment, but a better life for all its people. “

Now they need to demonstrate this. The retention of North Kelvin Meadow and the Children’s wood provides an ideal opportunity.
