- Responded to various planning and licensing applications submitted to Glasgow City Council.
- Created the Save Our Sorting Office campaign in repsonse to the proposed closure of the Cubie Street depot (which did indeed close, but we succeeded in pressuring Royal Mail into being more open about the changes, and the issue was subsequently raised at council and parliament level in order that future closure proposals are made much more transparent).
