I've not got a great head for figures, but I reckon there were at least 1000 people crammed in to Pollokshaws Burgh Hall tonight for the public meeting about Pollok Park.

The hall and balcony were jam-packed, the corridor full of people huddled at the doorways trying hear what was being said. People waited patiently in the car park as the huge crowd filed in until space somewhere in the building could be found for them.
And overwhelmingly, they were furious about the proposal to site a privately-run, tree top adventure park in Pollok Park, and the council's claim to have run an adequate public consultation.
Speaker after speaker from the floor said they were a regular user of the park, yet had not been aware of the proposal until recently, long after the consultation period had ended.
Local councillors present who have supported the proposal refused say whether the strength of feeling on show would be enough to see the planning process halted and the consultation re-run.
One gentleman asked, "If there has been a consultation, and it has not worked for whatever reason, then you can't be blamed. But if you don't take note of the the opinion expressed subsequently, if you proceed, then surely it makes a mockery of all consultations?"
Clr Ruth Simpson, Labour for Calton Ward, who was present as an executive member for land and environment, was jeered loudly when she then insisted, "We have run a full consultation."
She continued, shouting over the heckling, "And you did not respond."
That comment was met with outrage from the floor, and her microphone was switched off by the chairwoman.
Tristram Mayhew of Go Ape and Robert Booth of Glasgow City Council maintained their position throughout the meeting that they believe the facility will be good for the park. They were joined on the panel by an environmental consultant, who said he believed the plan would not have a negative impact on the park.
But Bob Marshall, of the Save Pollok Park group, had resounding support when he argued that a facility like Go Ape belongs elsewhere. "This is the last quiet area we've got," he said.
"This is not criticism of Go Ape," he continued, "this is passion for Pollok Park."

A vote taken at the end of the meeting showed maybe ten - sorry I can't be certain about that, there were just too many people in the hall to get a full view - in favour of Go Ape being sited in North Wood in Pollok Park, and the rest of the people present - I'm still guessing, but I would say about 1000 - opposed.
