Queens Park

[crannog]

According to the OS maps from between the wars (OS 25" map 3rd ed.) there was an icehouse depicted and named at the very spot where the brickwork was found.

Poor woman. The park looks strange empty.

[Sharon]

The park was reopened this morning according to the BBC, I haven't been past it yet. It's just sad that it's not being reopened because they have caught her killer.

I can't ever remember a park being closed for two weeks for a murder investigation, it's not like there have never been murders in parks before. The cops seem to be pulling out the stops in this investigation. I do hope they catch whoever was responsible damn soon.

I hope they get their man. I don't take kindly to folk raping and murdering English girls as you may well imagine.

I was living in Queen's Park this time last year and It's a pity he didn't chance his luck with me first. He'd have let himself in for more than he'd bargained.

And Not any other nationality either I'd hope!

Hi Sydney . I am fairly sure Reenie was relating to herself as an English girl , as she is one , but hopefully nationality is irrelevant

Precisely. I did wonder whether I should have made that clear myself. As a forty year-old Englishwoman who has recently resided in Queen's Park, the incident hit home with more impact than it might otherwise have done. Still, it matters not who is the rapist's target... Rape, wherever perpetrated and to whomever is thoroughly repugnant. Gratuitous murder likewise.

The Glasgow Institute of Architects, in association with the local community councils, invite entries for design professionals and students to produce design ideas for the site of the former Queen’s Park Bandstand area to create a modern, multi-purpose performance and activity space for community and visiting arts groups with capacity to accommodate small (up to 300) and large (up to c900) audiences.

It has been brought to our attention that part of the Queen’s Park recreation ground is the City Council’s preferred site for a large residential facility for elderly people. This decision has been made with out consulting the community or the community councils. It is our understanding that the local elected members were only made aware of this plan recently.
It is also our understanding that at least one community council have already objected in writing to the council regarding the proposal on the following grounds
