MCDT is holding a meeting on 22 September 2016 at 7.00 p.m. in the
Fraser Centre regarding Lennox Park and in particular the area which is
currently unusable as a football pitch as it is a red blaze pitch, which
is no longer approved as a suitable surface to play on. It is a good
sized pitch and was used regularly years ago by the local football team,
Milngavie Wanderers, and other teams. Also, Milngavie Primary and other
organisations regularly used the area for sports and events.
Some history is that Lennox Park was donated to the people of Milngavie and is looked
after by EDC under this gift and therefore there are strict regulations
regarding such gifts. Considerations to take into account are that there
is no parking or much in the way of vehicle access as there is only a very
narrow bridge over the railway line and there is a weight limit to this
bridge which may not even be usable as it has not been used for so long.
There are also sheltered flats being built in the area of Crossveggate and
there are already flats in the area which tend to house older people. The
area at this section of the park has been unused for a long time.
We would urge residents to go along and have their say on the park's future use.
