This is the list of documents available for the submission By Councillor John Letford:- "Council notes the work of the Women's Support Project, the Women's Centre and others to create a memorial garden on the site of Lochburn House in Maryhill. Council recognises that the women incarcerated in Lochburn House were often very young, working class women, who found themselves there through a variety of circumstances and for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was destitution, poverty and occasionally, their socialist and other political beliefs. Council acknowledges that women were institutionalised as part of a system in Glasgow involving the police, justiciary, the medical profession, religious bodies and the local authority. Council notes that Lochburn House was closed down in September 1958 after twenty seven women aged between 15 and 19 years old broke out of the home and spoke of beatings and verbal abuse, and that this survivor centred ethos is vital to this commemoration. Council agrees Glasgow's 'dirty secret' needs told and that their voices are early examples of "Hear Me Too". Council calls on the Chief Executive to raise this issue with Glasgow Life and to work with the local community in Maryhill to explore how violence against women and girls can be further addressed, by using the women's example of resistance against their oppression. Council agrees that this, and the exploration of a memorial garden, would be a fitting tribute to the women's lives and struggle." .
