IT was interesting to read that Glasgow's infamous "bridge to nowhere" in last night's Evening Times is to be given an award for "community impact."

It would have been interesting though to read exactly what the judges felt the impact on the community has actually been.

The bridge records all cycle traffic as they pass across the bridge; it does not record the number of pedestrians. Granted, the bridge seems to be well used, however, once a cyclist crosses the bridge, cycle lane provision stops at both ends, and they then need to cycle on the nearest road or footpath, until their next recognised area.

As Councillor Eva Bolander suggests - walking and cycling can offer real alternatives to car travel, however, there really needs to be much more joined up thinking when considering all these proposals. As can be seen in a later article about a new pathway on Barrhead Road, linking cyclists with pedestrians will always be a problem.

Millions of pounds spent may well make an unused bridge a new crossing point, but it takes a lot more than a bridge to make an impact on a greatly growing community.

IF the time ever comes that our Prime Minister whoever it may be has to press that nuclear button, then by it's very terms of use, for defence and deterrent only, means we are responding to a nuclear attack from an enemy.

The very power these new weapons contain make the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombs look like bangers, it would mean instant mass extinction for the entire planet, what is wrong with Jeremy Corbyn saying he would not press the button.

Who says humans are the most intelligent beings on this planet, yes you guessed it, human beings.

REGARDING Hyslop revealing Glasgow gave £200,000 to DF for concerts, I have no problem with Glasgow doing this and they are right they will get the money back.

As will both the Scottish Government and even Westminster get much more than the £150,000 back, in fact they will already have made much more than this from VAT on sales and tax from those performing.

It's the hypocrisy and double standards that stink here. This happens all the time, it's called investment.
