Despite some difficulty (well quite a cold and rainy bit of difficulty) with the weather this week, our intrepid volunteers still managed to add another 405 signatures to our petition – bringing us to a grand total of 2448, well on the way to our next target. Thanks so much for all the hard work, everyone – a terrific result!
We gathered a few quotes to let you know what people are saying. So, here are some of the things people said to our volunteers this week:
“thanks for doing all this, it’s great to know that someone is looking after our interests”
“I can’t believe property developers have been allowed to buy a nature reserve”
“I hope you’ve got the politicians involved in this”
And lastly this from a ten-year old boy: “I’ve heard about this and I want to sign the petition. I don’t think they should be building on the orchard.”
I couldn’t agree with him more. So, let’s keep up the good work. 3000 signatures here we come…
Friends of Craighouse Grounds and Wood

You are doing a stupendous job, Dougie, as are our other volunteers. The Friends owe all our volunteers a massive heartfelt thanks on behalf of the local area but also for the future of the City’s other green spaces. In in this cold weather too! Brrrrrr….
