Major revamp for Sauchiehall Street urgently required
I’ VE read letters in recent weeks from readers about the state of Sauchiehall Street. I agree that action has to be taken in a bid to rejuvenate the city centre street.
The amount of empty shop units is astonishing. Glasgow City Council has to work with owners of empty shops in a bid to find tenants.
What must tourists think when they walk along Sauchiehall Street?

REGARDING the First Minister’s statement about buying up beds in care homes so that people in hospital medically fit for discharge but awaiting a care package can be sent there, has anyone thought this through?
It seems to be a recipe for another disaster as was the case when sending Covid positive or untested patients to homes previously.
Why, if all these beds are suddenly available, have they not already been filled? Why did the Scottish Government not act sooner? Is it because they have not given enough to local authorities to help fund these places? Why is there such a delay in getting care at home for people who are ready to be discharged? Is there a lack of funding for that locally? Are there not enough care workers employed?
The First Minister has stated that she is concerned regarding “safe care and infection control” in our overcrowded hospitals but who is going to check that these care homes can provide this?
Far too little, far too late. Dorothy Connor Rutherglen
DO the teachers who decided to take strike action this week care about the impact this is having on the education of pupils?
Teachers have an easy gig with lots of holidays every year.
Get back to work and stop wasting everyone’s time.

I WOULD love to hear which roads in Glasgow readers think have the worst potholes.
I nominate the roads around Costco and the St Rollox Tesco. They are simply awful. Craters everywhere!
