HOW dangerous will the M8 get before the transport agencies get their act together and start clearing away the debris which has accumulated around the drains on the outside lane between Easterhouse and Junction 19?

This debris has been accumulating for the past five or six days and doesn’t look as though it has been swept.

Surely this should be a frequent operation during the night?

God help us if someone hits one of these puddles and it causes an accident – all preventable with some proper planning!

WITH the latest Storm Desmond passed, still no lessons have been learned from November's “Storm Abigail.”

More fool all of those who continue pointlessly using and dumping broken brollies on the streets.

Believe it or not, there are such things as bins - so let’s start using them!

Or better still: ditch the brolly in a storm and dress appropriately for the weather.

THERE are plans to build another block of flats much higher than the original ones at Garnethill.

I can only describe them as little dolls houses at a very high price.

This development does not fall in line with the original planning application which I found was going to the planning committee.

The community of Garnethill object to this strongly and have already submitted objections which in return have received a message from Glasgow City Council saying all our objectives are non applicable.

This is not acceptable. How can all our objectives be non applicable?

It clearly shows the city council can do what they want despite the council tax payers' and community objectives.

Are we to have our open spaces and greenery taken away from us on the basis of profit.

AS a resident of London Road in Calton I say well done to the police on closing the house in Millroad Street in a drugs crackdown (Evening Times, Saturday).

We need to remove the scurge of drugs from our children living in these communities.

To put it into perspective most of the local pubs do not get 250 visitors per day!

By the way, title deeds of these houses prohibit any form of business from being carried out from within.

As such they would clearly be breaking the law. Why have they not been charged?
