The row over the controversial Go Ape treetop adventure facility in Pollok Park, Glasgow, is to come before the Scottish Parliament.

Jackson Carlaw, Conservative MSP for West of Scotland, has tabled a parliamentary motion questioning Glasgow City Council's determination to push ahead with the proposed project.

The motion also calls for a fresh consultation on the proposal, which is to be considered by the council's planning committee over the next two or three weeks.

Mr Carlaw said: "The level of opposition to this proposal is overwhelming, yet the council seems determined to push ahead regardless."

Objections to the scheme have ranged from the disturbance expected to other park users, and visitors to the Burrell Collection, to the fact that adults will be charged £25 and children £20 to take part.

It has now emerged that the operators expect a turnover of £1.3m a year but the council will make only £2.2m over the 21-year period of the lease.

Mr Carlaw added: "I have no quarrel with Go Ape. What they offer is held in high regard when in the right location, but the North Wood of Pollok Country Park is not such a location."
