Further to the Campaign meeting last week, the Save Pollok Park campaign have put together details of what matters should be raised with the council in order to get the plan called-in to Scottish Ministers.

My own letter is here, feel free to use it, but do make it your own. I’ve popped mine in the post today. It needs to be delivered by next monday. Techie though I may be, I prefer where possible to put serious objections on dead trees, especially as I’ve got some nice new (recycled) paper that looks quite nice. If your time is short, you can also e-mail planning.representations@glasgow.gov.uk, but do put the following in the subject heading: APPLICATION TO BE REFERRED TO SCOTTISH MINISTERS 07/03308/DC.

The goal is to raise new matters, and flag items that were not properly dealt with. The campaign site has a few, so choose those that matter to you and include them.

Separately, how about having a constructive think about what could be done to improve the park? The council paints a picture of objectors in the media, and it’d be great if people took on the challenge to make some suggestions, so when the consultation is re-opened, they’ll be frankly taken aback by the ideas to make the park a better place.
