Clyde River Action Group

C.R.A.G. the Clyde River Action Group has been specifically set up to STOP a proposal for a minerals open cast site next to the River Clyde, between the villages of Coulter and Lamington, which will ultimately lead to the destruction of a beautifully scenic part of Clydesdale and Upper Clyde river.
If you are a local resident, have family in the area or once lived in this locality, fish in the Clyde locally or downstream, are interested in the future of our environment and our long term health and wellbeing, we would be most grateful if you took some time to contact CRAG and tell us what you think about the proposal and if you would be happy to support our campaign in whatever way you can
