A Guerrilla Garden at “Selfridges Corner”?

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

I stumbled across this letter from an Anne Peters recently published in the Evening Times;

“If Selfridges aren’t going to do anything with their overgrown gap site in the Merchant City then perhaps it’s time Glasgow City Council called in the guerrilla gardeners.

I can think of nothing nicer than having a new green oasis in that part of the city and, if done right, it shouldn’t cost us a penny.

We should open up the area and bill Selfridges for the work. After all, they’ve done nothing with the site except let it become an eyesore, a breeding ground for vermin and a communal tip.

It would be great to have somewhere nice to sit out, or a permanent base for the farmers’ market which regularly appears in Candleriggs.”

An excellent suggestion!
