£21m Cathkin Relief Road
Re-think the plan to extend the Cathkin by-pass
And save our Greenbelt
And save our Greenbelt
Why is this important?
This carriageway extension will not only pollute the area
with noise and car fumes, it will rip up one of the few
remaining greenbelts in the Rutherglen Area. This is
apparently a protected greenbelt which mine &
other local children helped plant trees and shrubs
in over 12 years ago as part of bio-diversity excersize.
This is where local families take their children for walks,
where the children play In the summer months &
in the winter snow, where many people walk their dogs
and go for leisurely strolls.
There is already 3 alternative routes in existence,
None of these are by any means over congested at
any time of the day.
The residents of High Burnside did not choose to live on
a main road so why should we be forced to do so now.
This is just taking the problem away from
One door and laying it at another.
I think it's outrageous to spend this money on a road when
the kids at the local high school are being given photocopied
handouts of text books because the school can't afford
the books for each pupil, When there is talk of increasing class
sizes in the schools obviously because the budget is so
tight to be able to afford the level of staff required, and
when the NHS is in such a mess with the limited
funding they have to exist on.
I think this money could be better spent elsewhere
And not spent on concreting over one of the last
remaining greenbelts.
