30 YEARS AGO

Top level talks were taking place over the development of Rutherglen land that could have brought new jobs to the area in the future.

The district council agreed to foot the bill for several Landemer Day services, after the committee were told that they would no longer be free.

Strathclyde Regional Council announced that £3million would spent on improving and upgrading Trinity High in Rutherglen and Hallside Primary in Cambuslang.

Nearly 300 tenants in Cambuslang had told their respective housing associations that they intended to withhold the current rent increases.

The troubled Rutherglen Thursday market was forced to move to its second new site in two weeks.
