M77

Actions are continuing at the Pollok Estate where Wimpey are trying to build the M77. It now seems certain that Wimpey have redesigned the route of the road to avoid the Pollok Free State which is protecting a small beech woodland, having apparently decided that this is easier than attempting another eviction. April saw the occupation of local Wimpey Show homes, a demo outside Wimpey’s AGM and the presentation to Glasgow City Council planning department of a scale model of Pollok Free State! A big action is planned for Climate Action Day on May 14 and a month of almost daily actions is on throughout May. Contact Glasgow EF! 0141 9462700 for details. Help and support is needed!
