Residents Against The M74

Glasgow City Council have given the go - ahead for a TEN LANE motorway cutting through the south side of the city. The aim is to cut the present route by ten minutes! The Labour controlled City Council ignored their manifesto - voting 9-4 in favour of the 4.8 mile road, costing £250 MILLION! This will make it the most expensive road in Europe. It will destroy 27 homes, churches and listed buildings as well as local communities on the south side of Glasgow.

Arrogant councillors are refusing to meet the locals or visit the site. Local support is growing rapidly. Residents are furious that £250m is spent on a road whilst Glasgow's housing problem continues to be ignored.

Labour councillors main concerns are to promote tourism and big business as opposed to the interests of the local people. Locals warned "tourists don't visit war zones... the only overseas visitors this city will have will be environmental protesters and journalists." The council haven't learnt anything from Pollok. Campaigners are calling on people to join what is to be the "largest Scottish land agitation since the eighteenth century." Many buildings need squatting.
