The growing areas are utilised by people as a space to breathe meet and create a community. It is precisely the type of area that is meant to be protected by council and government, not raped in this way.

There are no local community benefits from such a 'development', only additional problems in schools, parking, loss of amenity and for what? so a few people can make some money.

I have heard it said that there is an attempt by certain interested councillors to make out this is derelict land - it is most certainly not!

This is not what SNP or Labour should stand for. Glasgow originally meant wee green place. This is one, and used and cared for by the local community. To take it away and commit this act of vandalism will not be forgotten or forgiven!

The lack of available green space is forcing children indoors and denying them of their nature connection. How will people appreciate nature when they are only surrounded by houses, buildings and groomed parks. It is unhealthy for the mind and body to live in a concrete garden. People want to connect outdoors and care for their land if they are given the chance.

In a world where an understanding of the environment is ever more important and community spirit can be lacking in so many ways, city wildernesses like the North Kelvin Meadow offer huge opportunities to educate, bring people together, build bonds and to work for the common good. Development of housing on this site is short-termist and future generations will judge us all on these sorts of actions. Please reconsider selling it to developers.

Glasgow has a disproportionate number of brownfield sites in its portfolio, and this proportion has been static for several years now. It is an important principle for all citizens of Glasgow that its derelict and vacant land be built on first, and that all potential greenspace sites be preserved.

The area now known as North Kelvin Meadow was a derelict sports field which Glasgow City Council was no longer maintaining. Thanks to the initiative and drive of local people the area was turned into a green space.

Green spaces are hard to come by in cities yet they can play an important role to communities. Many urban dwellers use these oasis as a place of tranquility, to relax and escape the bustle of the city. They also play an important role in teaching urban children about the wonders of the countryside, an opportunity they might not otherwise receive.

The residents of north-west Glasgow have spent the last two decades working hard to turn this area from an neglected and unloved sports field, abandoned by the council, to a thriving meadow which can be enjoyed by all.

I urge you please do not take their hard work away by building 90 flats on the area. Our cities need more green spaces not more bricks and mortar!
