You are invited to take part in our live Citizen Mapathon at the Briggait on the Clydeside to collectively investigate who owns the River Clyde from Glasgow Green to Glasgow Harbour.
Land ownership along the city centre stretch of the river is fragmented, murky, and its incredibly hard to find out who owns what. Unlike other European countries, it costs Scottish citizens £4.20 (including VAT) to search the land register of Scotland.
Help us investigate who owns the Clyde, it's banks, its bed and sky above. Join us on the afternoon of the 21st June for a facilitated ownership search using 'citizen bonds', large scale maps and conversation.
You can purchase bonds in various way. Either bring cash to the event to pay on the day. Alternatively, you can pay by card in advance or during the event via our Crowdfunder page: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/... Also, do consider paying it forward for others that may not be in a position to purchase themselves.
You can find out more about our investigations so far via our 'Who owns the Clyde?' podcast at https://podfollow.com/who-owns...
