As ever, lots of interest in our @SpringburnWG Christmas Market stall. The community overwhelmingly supports restoration of the hothouse after 41 years of dereliction. Hopefully, 2025 will be the year we finally secure the capital funding needed to start much needed renovations.

I really enjoy doing my historical walking tour of Springburn Park and @SpringburnWG for @Glasgowdodf each year. It was great to see Springburn featuring so prominently in this year's Doors Open Day! https://t.co/Ve3QnVY5pN

After discussions with the owner of the former North British Locomotive Company headquarters in Springburn, I am pleased he has agreed to progress with an alternative plan to convert the A-listed building into student accommodation, instead of demolition.

All aboard! Just went on an excellent historic bus tour hosted by @PaulJSweeney of #Springburn #Glasgow so rich in history, much of it destroyed, however hints of its rich past still remain if you are told where to look. 👀
