As Sharon herself has commented, the built environment we live and work in affects us greatly, and i for one do not want to live in an identi-kit glass and chrome soulless city, which is what Glasgow is rapidly turning into.
I have thought long and hard about how to best go about organising such a pressure group, and i have many ideas on how best to realise our agenda and garner public support. That for the moment however is for another, perhaps less public, thread.
