An accident waiting to happen at roundabout
PLEASE, could the powers that be and the relevant council department concerned address the serious road conditions at the Hillington Roundabout, as it is only a matter of time before a serious accident will happen there. The white paint road markings in several places at this roundabout are now totally non-existent and this is causing havoc.
Motorists including myself who are familiar with this roundabout still have to have eyes in the back of our heads as cars are jumping in and out because motorists find themselves in the wrong road position for the exit they require. Motorists who are unfamiliar with this roundabout have no chance.
I believe this roundabout must be one of the busiest in Glasgow. This roundabout is always very busy with traffic but especially at weekends when shoppers head for Braehead, this will escalate now with Christmas not too far away. Therefore, I would like to ask once again if the relevant council department could get its act together and attend to this urgent matter before anyone gets badly injured.
With all the money that’s been thrown at COP26, I don’t think some white paint will burst their bank.

ONE hundred and three countries have pledged to significantly reduce methane from oil and gas wells, pipelines, decaying waste in landfill sites and livestock farming by 30% by 2030 compared with 2020 levels.
The UK is on the threshold of having commercially available feed additives for cattle and sheep which has the potential to reduce their methane by more than 30%.
Since there are 7.9 billion people in the world personally emitting methane gas and vegetarians and vegans even higher levels, can we please feed them the additives and the climate crisis would be solved within a year.

IF the UK really wanted to reduce carbon emission granting the over 60s a free local travel pass might be one of the very best ways to do it. This simultaneously tackles old age poverty, reduces the need for older couples to have cars and tackles social isolation in later life.
It might even stimulate our tourism industry or help reduce the damage of air travel, by encouraging people to take hotel breaks at home and avoid flying. It would be a well-earned reward and a gigantic morale booster, for people who have paid tax and national insurance over many decades of working life.
But Boris Johnson, our gaffe prone goon of a gormless PM, normally prefers useless schemes which damage the environment and cost vast billions of pounds we cannot afford as a nation.
