Please support the campaign to save Pollok Park!

Help defend historic, award-winning Pollok Park from the Glasgow City Council's plans to let a private company build a for-profit assault course in the North Wood. Like the Govanhill Baths closure, this Council decision was undertaken without adequate consultation. There is huge public support to save the park which was expressed at a packed public meeting on 22 January. To learn more about the campaign and view news clippings about the campaign, political support and more, please go to their website at http://www.savepollokpark.com.

If you would like to help, please go to the Save Pollok Park campaign website and vote in the poll.
