Along with Castlemilk, Easterhouse and Pollok, “the Drum” was to become a self-contained satellite township with its own shops, schools, churches, open spaces and facilities.
. The plan is to create other artworks in different parts of Drumchapel, building a mural trail which will form a centrepiece for a year of celebration that has its roots in a similar project in 2013.“It was a blether group,” explains Peter Divers, of the G15 Youth Project.“People got together to come up with ideas for how to celebrate the 60th birthday of Drumchapel, and the whole thing was completely led by the community. If they wanted it, we’d put it on.
“But everyone in the community has chipped in, from local schools and businesses to the community police, Thriving Places, other charities and organisations – that’s the beauty of this place,” says Iain. The team has exciting plans for a range of projects and events, and other groups and organisations across the area will be staging their own celebrations too.
