WHILE it is encouraging to hear Humza Yousaf , Monday's Evening Times, acknowledge that people with learning disabilities are the worst affected by UK Government spending cuts and Glasgow City Council slashing of services - that is not enough.

We need much more from MPs, MSPs and councillors.

A good starting point would be a national conversation that includes vulnerable people and their carers, however, not simply to discuss how poorly they are being treated under current incumbents. A more meaningful aspiration would include how we can reverse these cuts and move forward to deal with Glasgow's care crisis.

I WAS reading about a call for cycle lane on every street, many of the roads are unsuitable for cycle lanes.

The city infrastructure is too old. Cyclists don't feel safe when all there is between themselves and faster moving cars is a white line.

Drivers don't like it either and the last thing a driver wants is to hit a cyclist.

There is a high risk of serious injury or death. Bumping another car is bad enough but at least bones don't get broken.

I had a discussion with a cycling officer at the council before and he said that even where there is space to do so reclaiming pavement space for a dedicated cycle lane is simply not economically feasible or close to impossible.

The reason is the routing of the sewers at the road edges. They need to be at the edge for drainage, so how would that work if the pavements were just pulled back.

REGARDS standing area back at Celtic Park, what a regressive step. We've had decades of stadia improvement - supporter safety is now paramount and we have more comfortable stadia than ever before and yet Celtic want to go back to the bad old days. Then again, Celtic had to be forced by law to modernise Parkhead in the first place so it's perhaps not surprising that they seek to undo this work.

STANDING could be safer: a safe standing area is far better for people who want to stand than people tripping over plastic seats at knee height.
