Following our successful event in May discussions were held with staff in the planning department of Land and Environmental Services which resulted in them preparing plans for the redevelopment of Kelvingrove Square based on the results of the consultation. In addition our own Mike Hyatt prepared plans and these were all presented to the Committee at their meeting in September. The general opinion was that both proposals were outstanding and they now form the basis of a further Public Consultation which will be held on Saturday and Sunday, 5th and 6th December at the An Clachan café in Kelvingrove Park from 10.00 a.m. to 12 noon on both days. ( Opposite the end of N Claremont Street)
The proposals include a bound gravel area under the trees on the west side of the Square, raised beds, a serpentine path and a water feature.
Mike’s plan is shown below. It includes a bog garden, a Restaurant garden, a Buddhist garden, circular seats and low snaking mounds.
Come along to the consultation and let us hear your views on these proposals.
Meanwhile the Committee has also been active in looking after the Square with general tidying of the flower beds and, courtesy of Land and Environmental Services, planting snowdrops and other bulbs in preparation for the Spring.
