Love Milton
About this project
LoveMilton is a group of local people who love Milton, a post war housing scheme in the north of Glasgow. We think it is a good place to live, but we want to make it the best place to live... ever.
We got tired of people moaning about things they don't like, waiting for someone else to come and fix them, so we decided to do it ourselves. Big or small, we want to help local people develop and put into practice their ideas for what would make Milton a better place to live. We aim for the triple bottom line of social, ecological and economic sustainability.
We have set up a charity and a company limited by guarantee and we operate according to the principles of a Community Development Trust. We seek to improve our community, by working in an enterprising way, in partnership with others, guided and owned by local people.
Our big ideas are big, we are planning to enable the people of Milton to build their own much needed community centre themselves, from reclaimed and waste materials. But we have also helped add colour to Milton by planting flowers and trees, and making new things out of old stuff.
We now have over 500 local people as members and are always looking for more, especially those who are keen to get involved in our many projects. We won the Evening Times North Area Community Champions Award and are currently seeking funding to put our big ideas into practice.
