Cllr Miller has recently stated in a local press article -
“I will continue to help and support the Ward 4 (Clarkston, Netherlee and Williamwood) constituents as I have always done, as an independent councillor, just as my father did for almost 20 years,” Cllr Miller said.
“Nor is it just Conservative voters whom I will represent but every member of my local community, regardless race, religion, colour, -_-ual orientation or indeed, political affiliation.”
Issue first raised 16 August 2020 !!! Help? Support? Represent every member?

Hi
If you do not acknowledge/reply then I have to conclude you have ignored.
However, I am not a member of Clarkston Community Group -
Private
Only members can see who's in the group and what they post
What makes interesting reading?
Thanks

Hi Stewart
It is disappointing that you choose to ignore this.
However, it is not only me. A bit of interest regarding this on the Your Clarkston facebook page -
www.facebook.com/myclarkston/
It would appear most of the posts are to make use of the current building and gardens as cafe/bar outdoor area for community and against demolition and new shops as currently there are about 10 unoccupied/vacant shops.
Would appreciate courtesy of reply.
Thanks

Hi
The Station Master's House, 37 Busby Road Clarkston G76 7BN (Clarkston station, Clarkston Toll shops)
This property has now been empty for over 2 years.
It would appear to be neglected and the gardens overgrown. It has now become a bit of an eyesore.
Is this deliberate?
Is the intention to neglect the maintenance of the building to ensure demolition?
Who owns the building?
Can the Council not ensure it is maintained and kept in good order?
Why build 'park-lets' when obviously this particular building/gardens could be turned into some sort of community (or private) cafe/eating place with gardens for sitting in, which in the current situation for demand for more outside space, is much more preferable option.
What can be done?
What can you do to improve the situation?
Your help with this will be very much appreciated.
Thanks
