Imagine the Clyde

In 2004 in the company of a number of amazing people who live on the shores of the Clyde I viewed the river from the paddle steamer Waverley. On the way down the river we talked about the best of the past-the ship yards, the hammers ding dong and what we remembered. On the way back up the river we imagined the Clyde as we wanted it to be. Various groups formed spontaneously with ideas of cafes, interlinking transport as an alternative to the car and the ability to celebrate, use and enjoy the river. Many things have changed on the river and on its shores. Opinions will differ on whether its for the best or not but someone or some group of peopke imagined all that is there on the Clyde a number of years ago and its happening. If you would like your community or a river you love to be transformed, start using your imagination now and act on it in conjunction with others - if you do not, someone else will! Go see the Clyde, sail on the Waverley,notice the changes and imagine how it could be better and voice it. If nowhere else voice it hear-it's a beginning and beginnings are very important.
