Battle over Glasgow's North Kelvin Meadow continues after council vote

Councillors in Glasgow have voted to approve a bitterly-contested scheme to build 90 flats on a community woodland, but given volunteers who want to preserve it a sliver of hope too

Campaigners in Glasgow have vowed to continue their fight to preserve the woodland known as North Kelvin Meadow after the city's council approved plans for the land to be sold to a property developer.

The area is valued by its fans as an essential stretch of grassland, urban woodland and a community orchard for that area of the city - including rare orchids - and would be bulldozed under plans lodged by builders New City Vision to erect 90 new flats.
