100-year-old Glasgow granny born and bred in Bridgeton opens £1m community park

A Glasgow granny has officially opened a new community park in the Bridgeton area and the 100-year-old was honoured to be asked to cut the ribbon earlier today.

Former lollipop lady Alice Gallacher opened the Old Dalmarnock Road greenspace - which had previously stood vacant - following a £1m investment by Clyde Gateway.

The new community park includes a woodland path for walkers and areas to support biodiversity. New entrances have been constructed, as well as a bike circuit for kids.
