Majority don't want a change to speed limit

Given that 596,000 people live in Glasgow this is not a very impressive figure wanting to change the speed limit, in fact it shows that the vast majority don't want a 20mph limit.

Why then is Glasgow City Council already committed to more 20mph zones, surely they should be listening to the majority of the electorate rather than pursuing ideas dreamed up by a few eccentrics.

In your article it states until recently, the Scottish Government insisted 20mph zones must have traffic calming measures, but that has now changed in areas where speeds are already on average 24mph or lower.

Why would anyone want to incur the expense of creating and monitoring a 20mph zone if the average speed in that area is already 24mph or lower?

Before I even read through this I expected an anonymous spokesperson would make a denial. Are staff making up stories,being malicious?

I don't think so.Something is clearly amiss when women are under pressure to leave early. It's a disgrace.

I was very moved to read your coverage of the Stockline tragedy and can hardly believe it was 11 years ago. For many people in Glasgow it is still very raw and I can't imagine what the families continue to go through.

It is good to see that the memorial garden will be passed into the hands of victims' families, survivors and the community. To me it seems like the right thing to do. My thoughts are with the families of all involved.

Looking at your Memories section of Glasgow's early street entertainer Arthur Manton and Dukesy, when I was a boy these type of characters were common.

Street entertainers and back close ones singing for the price of a bevy. Guys out in the street shouting "Knifes sharpened" and you'd run down to his horse and cart and give him tuppence to do it.

Those were the day. Don't get me started on the rat-man.
