Members of our committee recently had a tour to inspect ‘work in progress’ at the Stables project. While there is still a lot of work to be done, it was great to see ‘first hand’ how the project is progressing, and the huge amount of restoration work which has been completed. Timeline for completion of the first phase is estimated to be summer 2027.

The quaint council owned cottage in Pollok Park has been empty for about 15 years and questions were previously raised about bringing it back into use due to its “prime” location.
