Flowers at Melrose Gardens

There is a mix of flowering plants within the grounds of St. Charles Borromeo Oratory and public stairway at Melrose Gardens. These garden spaces support pollinators and brings colour to the local neighbourhood.

This gardening project continues to be supported by local people involved in Glasgow Flower Gardens. There are sites across the West End including Glasgow Botanic Gardens.

Revamp of stairs to Kelvin Walkway

Today, I was glad to find that the railings on the stairs from Belmont Street to Kelvin Walkway have been painted.

The painting of the railings was completed thanks to people on Community Payback Orders after a request for their support was submitted as part of my work as a councillor. I hope that residents and visitors find that this paintwork has enhanced the appearance of the stairs.
