The developers have now submitted their plans to build 142 flats in 8 storey blocks along Otago Lane in the West End of Glasgow, effectively destroying the character of the lane and going against the council’s own City Plan.
We have already delivered around 700 letters of objection to the council – you can read about it in the Evening Times and the Herald.
If you haven’t written a letter of objection yet, please go to the Save Otago Lane website and follow the instructions to send in a letter of objection. It is really important that you include the reasons why you are objecting – these must relate to the planning application.
It won’t take you more than 20 minutes to write a letter and you can even e mail it in to the council. So please help us ensure that a little corner of a not so foreign field stays unspoiled.
Despite running a very strong campaign in Glasgow North, and increasing the Lib Dem vote share by 4%, Katy Gordon was defeated by the incumbent Labour MP in the General Election on 6th May.
The Liberal Democrat campaign focused on positive policies and the clear desire on the streets to have an MP who genuinely listens and takes up local campaigns. However, Labour succeeded on polling day in getting out enough voters to hold on in the seat.
Katy sends the following message to local supporters:
“Local Liberal Democrats and our supporters should be proud of the part they played in the campaign and view the increase in vote share as a good springboard for future elections.
I would like to thank the hundreds of members, supporters and volunteers who contributed to the campaign. I am proud of the team, and look forward to building on this result.
Thank you to all those who voted for me, and supported my campaigns.
Katy”
On Friday 23rd April, Katy signed the Power 2010 pledge. Power 2010, like the Liberal Democrats, support wide ranging political reform. You can visit the Power 2010 website here
