PARENTS who campaigned for a speed camera at their children's primary are now trying to make the school greener.

The group of around 20 mums and dads claimed speeding motorists were putting pupils at risk - and now they have secured a speed display for the road.

Now the campaigning bunch, made up of Chinese parents, has built a small garden in the grounds of Dalmarnock Primary School.

They will grow flowers, fruit and vegetables thanks to a partnership with gardening organisation Propagate.

The scheme has been supported by North Glasgow Healthy Living Community.

Donna MacLean, Health and Wellbeing Worker, said: "Due to the language barrier this has been a great project because it is practical and doesn't need too much verbal communication.

"The practical element of being in the garden growing and digging together has been really good for helping them bond together and break down barriers.

"We also hope to start working with the nursery and to help the primary school get its Green Flag environmental award."

The parents' group has been working with Abi Mordin, Community Gardener at Propagate, to grow organic food.

The hope is that the garden will eventually provide healthy options for community meals to bring together families in the Dalmarnock area.

Parents also want to design and develop a large growing space in Dalmarnock and are looking for a site for the garden.

In June the Evening Times told how the parents were working to try to have Glasgow City Council introduce a speed camera to the Clyde Gateway.

Although the road is 30mph, drivers assume it is 40mph due to it being a dual carriageway and they speed along it.

Now council bosses have agreed to install a speed display to show drivers how fast they are travelling.

A council spokeswoman confirmed the speed display is due to be installed on the road but there is as yet no date for the installation.

Local councillor Greg Hepburn opened the Dalmarnock Primary School garden at an official celebration of the work being down.

Donna added: "The group continues to inspire their local community and now plan to look at community development topics such as achieving community led action."
