Glasgow councillor angry over lack of clarity on Queen's Park play area closure

A lack of clarity over the decision to shut a popular children’s play area in Queen’s Park has sparked anger from community representatives.

The Balvicar Street play park was shut last month, with Glasgow City Council claiming the decision had been made due to “safety concerns”. Frustrated parents have been protesting against the closure and over 1,200 people have signed a petition calling for the equipment to be upgraded.

Bailie Norman MacLeod, who represents the Pollokshields ward, which borders Queen’s Park, has now criticised council officials for not providing information over the required repairs.
