What an inspiring sight it was to see around 400 residents of Helensburgh come together on a grey autumn Saturday to stand united for our waterfront. The turnout at this weekend’s rally demonstrated once again how deeply our community cares about the future of this precious space.

The video below captured the powerful image of our community gathering at the proposed supermarket site, showing exactly what’s at stake – a prime location on our beautiful waterfront that deserves better than a supermarket development.

Against the backdrop of the Clyde, local musicians filled the air with song while young people showcased their talents at the skatepark. The atmosphere was one of determination and hope, reflecting the spirit of the 4,000 residents who have already signed the petition opposing the supermarket development.

Helensburgh Community Council extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended. Your presence sends a clear message to Argyll and Bute Council: our community’s voice matters, and we remain steadfast in our opposition to this inappropriate development.
