The council has agreed to amend the plans and protect our river views. I am truly stunned by the outcome and remain certain that this result belongs entirely to the 341 of you who refused to be quiet about our landscape. Please keep a watchful eye on the construction process …

The River Kelvin and the Kelvin Walkway is an area of outstanding landscape and natural habitat running through the West End of Glasgow. It is important not only for this but as an internationally-recognised symbol of the regeneration of Glasgow from the years of pollution and environmental damage. It demonstrates the commitment of Glasgow City Council through many years to make Glasgow a better place, and this achievement is recognised both nationally and internationally.
The planning application to develop the former BBC site on Queen Margaret Drive, Glasgow, threatens to damage the landscape and the appreciation of the listed buildings on this site.
We request that the plans are not approved in their current form, but are amended to respect and protect The Kelvin Walkway, and the views of the river bank from the Walkway and from the Queen Margaret Drive bridge, for the enjoyment of all. If this is not possible, then for the Planning Application to be withdrawn and a new application submitted which enhances the architectural heritage of Glasgow and safeguards the unique landscape and environment of The Kelvin Walkway.

I am honestly a bit overwhelmed by the number of people who care about our walkway and the bridge view. It turns out that this is your movement rather than mine and we are now staring down a triple digit goal that I never thought we would reach. If you could send the link to a few neighbors tonight I think we might just hit that milestone.

just dont build it so high that you cant see the park anymore. its fine as it is.
leave the river alone. we dont need any more giant concrete blocks blocking the light.
I walk my dog here every day and it would be a total shame to ruin the view with more flats.
really hope the council listens this time. that walk is the only bit of nature i get near my flat.
KEEP THE SKYLINE CLEAR. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
enjoy walking here and do not want to see any removal of trees.
This view is very important to the well being of people living in this area.
