| Comment | It's so long ago I genuinely can't remember. I think it was a unilateral action by the landowners in 2010ish, which council officers meekly protested but found actually the landowners were on firm enough legal footing to do what they wanted.
Here's a Facebook page that was set up about it: https://www.facebook.com/groups/189528807795280/
I'm really not sure what step has to be taken to force removal of the barriers. Whether it's merely a council mandate, or something like a technical acttion of parliament (e.g. a relevant Minister of the Scottish Government using their powers to issue a legal request). No idea.
I do know that it seems to go through phases of getting coverage in local media, the Glasgow Evening Times usually.
It'd be very much worth someone trying to get it back into the papers again. Despite what you hear on here with people bemoaning Glasgow Live or the Glasgow Times, they're always looking for local issues to cover, so if you do feel strongly about it, get in touch with one of their journalists or editors. Even just to ask if it's on their radar. MSP Paul Sweeney has also raised the issue on several occasions. It might be worth contacting him to ask if anything can be done: https://www.parliament.scot/msps/current-and-previous-msps/paul-sweeney |
