We reported how a row over the number of women in top jobs at Glasgow City Council has intensified after another member of Labour’s ruling administration criticised the leadership.

The vacant City Treasurer job was recently taken up by Philip Bratt, meaning the number of male Labour councillors on the executive committee remains at seven while there are three female Labour councillors.

This is what our readers thought:

AS in every walk of life, surely it should be the best person for the job.

The PC mob seem hell bent on the destruction of everything.

Sadly when it comes to "top" jobs, incompetence doesn't always get you fired, which means it is even more important that the right person is appointed.

YOU don't have to be Mystic Meg to know this is all too little too late for Labour. I foresee a change of administration and another party getting on board this particular gravy train. Choo- choo!

A NUMBER of landlords each own numerous properties in Govanhill from which they have made fortunes by letting to "social tenants", a guaranteed and very lucrative source of income. They have ignored the toothless Landlord Register and have made the lives of many in this area misery. Govanhill Housing Association claimed that they were unable to identify absentee landlords. However, I found this information quite easily by making an online application to the Land Register. If GHA make compulsory purchases on Govanhill, these guys will take the money, laugh, then use it to buy up more property in other areas. These rat infested, slum properties should simply be seized.

I THINK our roads and emergency services teams should be congratulated on their great effort in keeping us all safe and moving during Storm Gertrude.

There was a great deal of warning which I think people prepare, but on the day the disruption could have been far worse.

You will always find people complaining, but I think the main thing is on one was seriously injured and most people were still able to get out and about.

Well done for keeping us all moving.

THE Evening Times article on heart tests for babies in Scotland was very interesting. You would think something that could save lives would be well worth it.

The NHS is always going about saving money. Surely preventative medicine is the best way to ensure that we don't become a financial burden on the NHS in years to come.
