This is utterly incredible! In February Glasgow City Council give Locavore a grant of £49,999 to continue developing the sustainable food hub, and a few months later they issue a notice to quit the site in 10 days! Utterly crazy 😡 Please sign and share … https://t.co/CEkFqyWvlb

The land at Wateryetts Drive is a well-used community asset. This proposed growing space would enhance it for the community #kilmacolm #communitygrowingspace #ecospace

[Kilmacolm Eco Space @KilmacolmEco]

Kilmacolm Eco Space want to establish a new, and much needed, sustainable #community resource, to benefit people of all ages and abilities. However, Inverclyde Council want to sell off land at Wateryetts Drive, which would be ideal for a local-run #growingspace.
