Scottish Water have insisted its water is safe to use after several Wishaw residents reported discoloured water coming from their taps. Several people from the town contacted the Wishaw Press regarding the problem which they have stated has been going for a couple of weeks.

I’ve drunk this water before I saw the news and it’s had my stomach churning.

I really don’t think it’s safe to drink at all

I phoned Scottish Water and within 30 mins I had 16, 1.5 litre bottles of water dropped at my door.

If it’s discolouring your white washing then surely it’s unsafe.

Susan Park

Let’s see the Scottish Water CEO lying in a bath of it or drinking a lovely glass of it.

Kevin Gallagher

It’s been going on for a few months now and even when the water is clearer its tastes terrible.

They say its safe to drink but who would risk it?

Great fun trying to have a bath. I bought a water filter jug last week.

A jealous brute who stabbed his girlfriend then used the knife to hack off her hair has been locked up for 18 months. Jay McKnight turned violent during a walk with the 17-yearold in woods at Belhaven Park, Wishaw.

The law? Seems to favor the perpetrators were is the justice for the victims.

Frankie Carroll

That poor girl hope she is okay and not let a man treat her like that.

Valerie Woods

Shocking sentence. It’s disgraceful, our justice system is shambolic! Sharon Hart

Passports to show that you have had both doses of your Covid vaccine could be implemented from the end of the month if approved by MSPs. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced during her statement to the Scottish Parliament that members will debate and vote for the introduction of vaccine passports across the country. Readers were split on whether or not it was a good idea.

We keep hearing it’s to protect our heroes in the NHS yet our heroes can’t get a decent pay rise for all the work they have done.

We need more action and less words from the Health Minister he doesent seem to have much to say.

Maybe he’s got other things on his mind.

Robert Gray

Absolutely not. A negative test from everyone should be sufficient if need be.

Lynn Scougs

It’s not pubs that’s spreading the virus it’s the schools.

That’s three spikes all after the schools return.

Scott McLeod

No problem with these passports but how easy will it be to get one? Edouard Dunnachie

No! It’s dictatorship and discriminatory against people and should not be allowed to happen.

Linda McClelland

No! I don’t think so this is a way to try and strip us of our rights and control us even more. Human rights will be gone.

Singling people out is only causing more problems than we need.

Kerry Brown

Goverment trying to control people’s lives.

A 50-year-old carer who“goes above and beyond” to help out, has been nominated for our Say It With Flowers competition.

Lynn Martin’s hard work and dedication to help the elderly people in her care was praised by her line manager, Jacqueline Woods.

Fantastic and well deserved.

The best carer and friend I have ever had the pleasure to work with and know.

Lynda Johnstone

So well deserved Lynn. Jacqueline Woods
