Save the date! Rally to protect the waterfront, 1pm on 1st August
Dear friend
Thank you for your continued support for our campaign to protect the Common Good land at Helensburgh's waterfront from being sold to build a supermarket.
We are receiving many messages of support from people who have completed the Council's consultation and who want to help us encourage everyone to do the same.
At 1pm on Saturday 1st August we are holding a rally at the waterfront site. Can you join us?
We want to show how strongly our community cares about keeping this site as Common Good land for everyone to use and enjoy - and prevent its sale for a supermarket development.
This will be a short family-friendly event. Bring your friends, family and neighbours along.
We need as many people to join us as possible. Grannies, children, pets and banners all welcome!
There are many other ways you can also get involved in the campaign.
