Concerns over state of our city’s cemeteries
IHAVE concerns about our cemeteries around Glasgow and beyond – they were once like bowling greens ... beautifully manicured. Every graveyard was safe to visit love ones buried there. Not any more – Craigton, Cardonald to Hawkhead in Paisley are in a dangerously and dilapidated state.
There should be a notice on the entrance gates, stating enter at your own risk.
Visitors should also be issued with a hard hat and safety boots by the council responsible on arrival.
We have not learned from previous deaths from falling gravestones and sunken graves.
Provanmill has footpaths you can’t walk on and this in my mind is a desecration of sacred ground.
Our dead deserve better and are not laid to rest in a cemetery that’s dangerous and looks like a bomb site.
Hopefully, no harm will occur to anyone visiting, so let’s see them restored to their full beauty and elegance and make it a pleasure to attend and lay flowers on our past friends and family graves, instead of navigating a minefield. Stephen Johnstone Glasgow Downside
IT seems to me that council workers haven’t got a clue.
Do they not know if they get a large wage increase that the council tax will go up?
It will therefore just cancel out their increase.
There are lots of people who are willing to do the work if they don’t like the job . Leave and let other people do it.

WITH regard the current train chaos, it’s a pity nobody from the government in the rush to cancel all the services thought about replacement buses on the routes rather than hanging the Scottish electorate out to dry.
Still, the sheep will vote for them! A small example of how Scotland would look if it ever got Independence.

SO, extra trains can be arranged when a Scotland match is on at Hampden Park ... that says it all!
Forget about the commuters who are now late starting and returning home from work every day due to the shambles of a rail service. As long as the Tartan Army can make it to Hampden Park for a game of football, that’s the most important thing to organise. Jean Leeson Springburn
HOW can anyone trust travel firms and airlines when holidays are cancelled or disrupted by delays? The reports this week are awful.
