Thinking about Tollcross
This project will examine the way of life of local people, find out the issues they face and develop a programme in the ALP/Tollcross Centre which is relevant. We aim to involve local people in the development of the area in conjunction with public bodies and local groups. There will be various public talks, events and meetings.
