Residents Against The M74

The campaign continues against the ten lane M74 in Glasgow. A three day action was planned along the site of the M74 to coincide with the Burns Supper. The community came out to a celidh in the street, with flags and drums. Police came out on their horses, causing greater chaos. As the streets were cleared, people occupied a pedestrian crossing until the power was cut. moving to the next one each time. There have been no arrests throughout the campaign. The mood is positive and empowering. Actions to continue: 0141 424 1797, 0141 550 1745.
