Every month, the print edition of G41 gives all local politicians a space to tell you what they've been working on and share their views on local issues. It's a feature unique to G41, helping you keep track of what your politicians are doing and saying on your behalf.

As a councillor for a ward next door to Pollok Park I have been against the 'Go Ape' proposal from the start. As it tries to balance competing interests the council has its values wrong.
Pollok already contains: fields of highland cattle; a golf course; a motorway; a gallery; an historic house; a museum; an adventure play area, stables; a ranger centre; a sports facility for the police; police training dog kennels; cycle ways, tennis courts; a cricket pitch; several football pitches; a managed country garden; a wildlife and scent garden and a picnic area.
The quiet wooded green space left (essentially North wood) is valued by the council administration as practically worthless to the general public.
With this proposal it's worth a few thousand quid a year giving privileged access to a lot of rich fun seekers.
Let's hope there is an 11th hour conversion at the planning committee stage!
