Priorities must be right for city council
INOTE the council voting on a new budget soon. The councillors only need to see the priorities for the city should be getting the city clean by removing fly-tipping, graffiti, litter and reducing crime.
Give the citizens the free uplift service needed, lower the council tax and fix both the potholes and streetlights.
Forget all the proposals to host worldwide conferences like COP26 until the embarrassment of the city has sorted the basics.

SO-CALLED lockdown rules are now a joke in Scotland.
Don’t drink in public. Don’t go into click-and-collect premises. Stand outside – why? You might have to stand beside someone for a few minutes.
What about warehouses and construction sites? You have to be with other workers for up to eight or nine hours a day. Not a single mention about that risk from any of the UK leaders.
Then again, major construction companies paid back monies they received from the government, as did certain other companies.
Was this to ensure they could carry on with no restrictions? Makes you think.

WHEN families are backed against a wall with no funding/ wages due to coronavirus, this is unfortunately what people will do (Shop staff left shaken after ‘callous’ crook’ pounces, Glasgow Times online).
What a horrible world we live in at the minute, can only see these things getting more often and brutal.

I WOULD like pupils back as soon as possible but only when it’s safe for them, their teachers and all the other staff in our schools to be back (Nicola Sturgeon set to give back-to-school plan update in Scottish Parliament, Glasgow Times online).
What I don’t like is that almost from the second we were told they’d be going back on February 1 we’ve had constant wee hints from politicians and their advisers that it isn’t happening.
Make clear announcements when the time comes to make them, at other times stay quiet. Speculation that they’re going to be out for an extended period does nothing to help the anxiety our children are feeling right now, especially those that had their Highers and AHs cancelled and are worried about how their grades will be assessed if they’re not going to be back at school for an extended period.
