MEMO to Mr Frank McAvety, Group Labour Leader, of Glasgow's City Council's ruling political party.

This is now the ideal time for you to personally intervene, and call for a full review of the proposed parking restrictions in the Govan Area, and also in our city of Glasgow.

You have a massive task ahead of you, as you begin to regain the trust, loyalty and support, of Glasgow's Labour Party voters.

Please urgently arrange to review the most cynical, and deliberate pre-planned policy's designed by Mr Gordon Matheson, to persecute Glasgow's motorists, and make them into a cash-cow just ready to be milked.

Best of luck Frank.

AS a frequent pedestrian and bus passenger in Glasgow city centre, I can categorically state, from my own observations, that it is not the fault of the road, nor the crossing installation. It is the ignorance and apathy of pedestrians, who, for whatever reason, ignore the countdown crossing and the oncoming traffic and walk onto the road, often without even looking.

This can easily be confirmed by checking the CCTV footage of this and any other busy crossing in the city.

The walking public have a responsibility to themselves and other road users to observe the rules of the road. Perhaps it's time to bring in a jaywalking law in the UK.

IT'S a disgrace that the poorest people in Scotland are getting further hammered by the Tories by the cutting of the tax credits to the most unfortunate in our community.

Surely our Scottish Government must have the means to set up a fund to alleviate the dire circumstances that these poor people find themselves in through no fault of their own.

The SNP could start by diverting the money earmarked for the changing of our street names and signage to Gaelic into a fund to help the people in need. There must be other useless old pals, Quangos and committees, achieving nothing, collecting wages and expenses that could be axed and that revenue put into a fund for the poor and homeless.

Could we not form a voluntary group of accountants and concerned people to look into all the ways the Scottish Government could save money and deposit those gains into a fund to help the folk who really need it.
