City is still too dirty for the climate conference

-

READERS had their say on whether Glasgow is ready to host COP26...

DEFINITELY not if it’s going to cause another spike, our NHS is already struggling. Robert Elder

WISH it was anywhere but Glasgow to be honest! I’ve had to take two weeks off work.

NEVER will be. The city is a state. A hypocritic­al and egotistica­l talk shop. Doubtful that any of the areas agreed on will be implemente­d.

They can change the rules to suit themselves. One rule for them and another for us public “plebs”. Jill Ferguson

I LIVE in the city centre. Folk have been warned to not visit these places for food, a night out etc. Personally, I am not looking forward to it.

I AGREE with your correspond­ent in Monday’s letters page with regards to shoppers refusing to wear a face covering.

I was in a supermarke­t on Sunday and noticed the same issue.

Customers either refused to wear a mask or it was below their nose.

Are they stupid? Do they not understand how to put a mask on?

I’ve also experience­d the same issue on public transport.

In my opinion it’s normally passengers aged 16 and above who flout the rules and have no respect for anyone else.

I FULLY back rail workers for taking action during COP26.

Transport firms need to realise that their employees are vital to their service operating and if they treat them like dirt they will get nothing in return.

I FIND it hard to believe that strict rules are still in place in hospitals when thousands can pack into football stadiums and venue for concerts.

It’s heartbreak­ing for relatives who can’t get into hospitals for visits. Surely these measures needs to be eased.

I DISAGREE with some of the stick that Glasgow City Council leader Susan Aitken receives about the state of our city.

I think a huge amount of the blame should lie at the feet of the residents.

I’m sick of watching residents throw litter when they walk along the street or out of their car window and just treat Glasgow like a dump.

If more residents had pride in their city perhaps it would be a lot cleaner. Instead, we have broken bottles on the side of pavements and drug-users on the side of the streets in our city centre.

A huge amount of the blame should lie at the feet of the residents
