Hello everyone and thanks for the ongoing support with this petition.

There are now over 5200 signatures against the proposed untenable rent increases and eviction of Trongate103's tenants. It is vital we stand up and support the organisations within the building who play a prominent role in Glasgow's reputation as a world leading creative city.

I cannot speak directly for the tenants in the building and the current state of things, but as someone who has worked in several of the organisations, I can say with certainty that they all do incredible and brilliant things for our city and are run by brilliant creative people, so they deserve any support we can offer them.

I have emailed all of your signatures and information on the petition to the following MPs -

• Ian Murray (Minister of State for Media, Tourism and Creative Industries)
• John Grady (Glasgow East)
• Martin Rhodes (Glasgow North)
• Maureen Burke (Glasgow North East)
• Gordon McKee (Glasgow South)
• Dr Zubir Ahmed (Glasgow South West)
• Patricia Ferguson (Glasgow West)

If anyone has any suggestions on other people to contact or any other ways to support Trongate103, please feel free to leave a comment in the petition.

Thanks again, Lauren
