Greens object to Ministers'decision.
Scottish Ministers today announced they would not intervene over the Go Ape! proposal in Pollok Park, despite massive public opposition.
Patrick Harvie MSP said:
"This is a disgraceful decision, and will anger the thousands of people who want to protect Pollok Park. The City Council's consultation was a sham, the response from park users has been a clear rejection of the proposal, and for Scottish Ministers to pass the buck now is appalling.
"Go Ape is no doubt a fun facility, but the north wood of Pollok Park is an utterly inappropriate place for it, and if the Scottish Government refuse protect this oasis of calm in the heart of Glasgow's south side, they should be ashamed of themselves."
