Between axing school bus services, building hospitals with no parking for staff or visitors, bus lanes and bus gates, making residents pay to park outside their own homes and now a proposal to impose a 20mph limit in the city, I wonder why this anti-motorist council doesn't just go the whole hog and ban motors in Glasgow altogether.

The city centre will become a ghost town with people going to Braehead and Silverburn where they can park for free and do all their shopping without standing in snow and rain with armfuls of messages waiting for unreliable public transport.

I was really pleased to see that Govanhill Community Baths Trust has been given money from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

The fact that there is still a campaign ongoing to reopen the Baths all these years down the line is incredibly impressive and I wish them well with it.

Govanhill gets far too much press, despite the fact there are so many excellent local groups like this one doing their best to make the area better.

I salute them and hope they get their desired result.

Globally, how many deaths or serious injuries have been sustained by passengers using these rickshaws, and what other vehicles were involved in any of these deaths or injuries?

Robin Birrell has been enterprising enough to turn this into a business and creating potential demand for such a mode of transport on our streets - is it right that he should be "punished" by the council for his efforts?

No surprise about this decision.

Glasgow is Scotland's biggest city, but the killjoys at the Chambers don't "do Hogmanay". After all, there is a danger people might enjoy themselves.

Living in the city centre I frequently see the joyous looks on the faces of some of Glasgow's finest when the opportunity to inflict a spot fine on an unsuspecting tourist drinking a can of beer on a hot day presents itself.

During the Commonwealth Games visitors were able to buy alcohol on Glasgow Green while events took place on the stage there. However, unlike in almost every modern city in the world, they could not take their drinks outside the bar compound and were forced to watch bands on a stage 50 yards away.

Now cycle rickshaws are banned.

The message for tourists - go to Edinburgh. Rickshaws available, sensible interpretations on alcohol consumption during festivals, and a Hogmanay event that puts Glasgow to shame.
