Future plans for open space at Belgrave Lane/Southpark Avenue

Since 2006, I have been in regular correspondence with residents who care about preservation of the open space located on Southpark Avenue.

In recent weeks, Glasgow City Council has agreed to take direct action in respect of the above site. This involves the council completing works required under the Enforcement Notice issued in April 2011 and then billing the owner. A contractor has been employed to complete the following activities:-

a) Reinstate stone boundary wall to its original length, height and width with rubble stone and cope to match the appearance and materials of the remainder of the wall.

b) Remove all red and other blaes materials from the site.

c) Fill the resulting void with clean sub and top soil to match surrounding ground levels, thereafter sow with grass seeds.

A residents group is discussing plans for the future maintenance of the site for the wider benefit of the community.
