Local Green councillor Dan Hutchison has welcomed news of funding for Plantation Park to increase the tree cover and resurface the footpaths and play area.
Since Dan was elected last year he’s been working hard to ensure that the local area has high-quality, usable and safe greenspace. Dan said:
"I was delighted to see over £40,000 signed off for Plantation Park in my first meeting as Chair of Govan Area Partnership. This significant investment will see upgraded play equipment, fresh bulb planting as well as new tree planting which will greatly improve the biodiversity of the community. I’m also pleased that the proposals improve the active travel corridor through the park to keep everyone safer.”
Access to greenspace is essential in highly populated urban areas and Dan’s predecessor as Green councillor in Govan succeeded in gaining funding for Elder Park and Festival Park with works expected to start this year.
