The council hasn’t appealed against the court’s ruling. I should be celebrating our victory with you, but I can’t.

On Monday, entirely by chance, I discovered something I found really alarming.

I saw on the planning portal that, using different means, the council approved another ‘security’ fence in the same place while my action in the Court of Session was ongoing.

No one was notified, consulted, or invited to comment. No reference to this was made at any time during the court proceedings. 

My lawyers were just as astonished as I was. They helped me to lodge ANOTHER challenge in the Court of Session.

It was best for this to take place in my name because it’s so relevant to my last case, but this means I’m exposed to the risk of costs all over again.

In the meantime, I’ve heard that some kind of development is due to begin on the pitch from Monday 02 September. Is that the second fence? I’ve no idea. There’s nothing publicly available to suggest what might be about to happen.

‘What can I do to support the new case?’

Above all, we need to keep this in the public eye. Please consider doing any or all of the below:

1.        Historic Environment Scotland is considering designating the football ground in Cathkin Park as a site of special importance. This is huge, and was going to be the original headline of this update until Monday’s discovery.

Designation could help protect the park. It’s crucial that HES hear your views to understand the importance of the site! Please comment and share: https://bit.ly/designatecathkin 

2.        Share my crowdfunding page with your friends, family and neighbours. 

3.        Donate if you can.

4.        If you can share your time and energy, contact me: savecathkinpark@outlook.com

The fight continues.
