Scottish Govt: "expectation" to protect open / green / play space

Thank you all for your huge support so far! Our message is getting through - in a Sunday Herald article today, a Scottish Government spokesperson said: "Scottish planning policy expects planning to protect, enhance and promote green infrastructure, which includes open space, play spaces and green networks, as an integral component of successful place making.” Please help to ensure that Scottish Ministers are absolutely clear how important this issue is right across Scotland. The fact that thousands use the Meadow from all walks of life is important enough - but there are fundamental principles at stake here about the need for wild place spaces in cities for grown-ups and children alike, about community empowerment and about the executive, everywhere, listening to and respecting the voice of local people. Please share this petition as widely as you can - and thank you again for your support.
