That the Parliament commends the volunteers of Milngavie in Bloom on the installation of the Roman centurion statue at the Antonine garden in Milngavie; understands that the idea was floated in 2023 and planning consent obtained later that year; understands that funding for the project came from donations, community grant scheme, sales of its calendar and cards along with donation cans in local shops; acknowledges that the statue was installed on 23 May 2025 and that it will officially be unveiled in late June 2025, and wishes the organisation every success for future community-focussed projects.
