A GREEN space in East Renfrewshire has been given protected status after years of campaigning by the community. Friends of Huntly Park (FoHP) was set up in 2017 in a bid to secure Fields In Trust protection for the Giffnock site. Now a motion has been passed by East Renfrewshire Council to protect the park from future development. It comes four years after Advance Construction submitted controversial plans for a £112million housing development at Braidbar Quarry, near Huntly Park. Those proposals left some local residents fearing new housing would have a “major impact” on the area’s wildlife, which includes badgers and bats.
