At a time when people are struggling to survive Glasgow City Council place further restrictions on the poor.

More details

I want the Government to reconsider and scrap these charges. It is absolutely diabolical that the people of Scotland should be charged to visit a country park.
Actions speak louder than words, if the Government have genuine concern for the people this needs to be scrapped with immediate effect.
