A community group which planted flowers and grew vegetables on derelict land earmarked for building is being taken to court by Glasgow City Council.
North Kelvin Meadow Campaign said its volunteers had acted after the former playing fields in Clouston Street had lain unused for more than 25 years.
The council said a development planned for the area would provide new homes, a park and playing facilities.
It is seeking to evict the group and has been granted an interim interdict.

1) a severe shortage of housing in most parts of Scotland.
2) a severe shortage of dosh in the cooncil coffers at the moment.
You can't just keep filling in these wee spaces with yet more people without any regard for facilities and open space. What happened to the Victorian sense of municipal responsibility to provide either?
As for the shortage of dosh - not my problem, they were the ones investing it in Icelandic banks and doing little to curtail the excesses of our elected representatives....
