Thank you for your email and the list of questions contained therein with reference to the above.
I would advise you make contact with a councillor(s) from your own Ward (Ward 4 - Clarkston, Netherlee and Williamwood - link below), whom I am sure will be only to happy to address your concerns and answer any queries you may have.
I would recommend Councillor Stewart Miller but please note that data protection restricts me from forwarding your details to him.
I hope this helps,
Kind regards
Gordon Wallace
Councillor
Giffnock & Thornliebank

Hi Gordon
Thanks for this.
Sorry, I wrote to you as I understood you were a member of this working group.
Is this not the case?
Are members of the Working Group not to be contacted?
I am concerned that there is no representation on the working group regarding Busby, Clarkston, Netherlee and Williamwood residents.
In light of there being no representation on the group from Busby, Clarkston, Netherlee, Williamwood my request to you was that as a member of the Working Group you could ensure that the views/concerns of all residents/constituents are heard and given due consideration by the Eastwood Park Masterplan cross party member and officer working group.
In the circumstances I don't think it is an unreasonable and/or time consuming request.
These are not extreme views/concerns.
What is the problem in getting these views/concerns included in the terms of reference and/or agenda of the working group?
However I must say your reply doesn't exactly fill me with any great hope regarding openness and transparency and/or any meaningful consultation.
As I have already been in contact with Cllr Miller (who was not really happy to 'address your concerns and answer any queries you may have' )
'......there being no representation on the group from Busby, Clarkston, Netherlee, Williamwood my request was that (as you are my Councillor and I am your constituent) you ensure the views of all your constituents are heard and given due consideration by the Eastwood Park Masterplan cross party member and officer working group.'
you have my permission to contact/discuss with him regarding the matter(as he has to contact/discuss with you).
Your further help with this matter will be appreciated.
Thanks
