a new world order

Despite the occasional splash of colour there is something sad about Springburn Park in Glasgow. The once proud glasshouse is a derelict wreck, the Fairy garden long gone. Even the boating pond no longer has boats. There are efforts to keep it tidy at least but there is also a reputation for trouble, drunkeness, drug-taking. Something which most open spaces in the city share. Not what the patrons who built these green places had envisaged. But what can be done where so many lives are lived without hope for a better future?
