Anyone that lives in Glasgow will tell you with how much affection our parks are regarded. They have served as an escape from the city and a place to socialise and relax for generations.

That's why when I was in Tollcross Park recently I was extremely saddened to see that one of the crown jewels of our parks has been closed and allowed to fall into a shocking state of disrepair.

The Tollcross Winter Gardens (located inside Tollcross Park) is a stunning B listed Victorian Conservatory that was once much loved by the surrounding community. It was closed after suffering storm damage in 2010 and never reopened.

Please Glasgow City Council take action and save the Winter Gardens before we lose another one of our great heritage sites.
