I have tabled the following parliamentary motion in support of Rouken Glen Park.
That the Parliament believes that Rouken Glen Park in Eastwood is worthy of the Keep Britain Tidy People's Choice Award; notes that the award gives the public the power to decide which of the year’s Green Flag Award winning sites should be named in the top ten in the UK; understands that the Green Flag Award is a national benchmark for publicly accessible parks and green spaces in the UK, which was achieved by Rouken Glen Park for the sixth time in July 2016; acknowledges the recent £3 million investment in the park from the Heritage Lottery Fund and East Renfrewshire Council, which saw the Pavilion Visitor Centre refurbished, the walled garden redeveloped and conservation work undertaken on the much-loved boating pond, among other works; calls on all in Eastwood to vote for Rouken Glen Park at greenflagaward.org before the 30 September 2016 deadline, and trusts that the park will be victorious come the announcement on 16 October 2016.
