I HAVE no objection to the government funding of Scottish film making (Evening Times, May 25).

We must support the “arts” wherever possible.

I do, however, believe that all such funding of taxpayers money should carry a condition that “if” funded projects become profitable, as I have no doubt the Trainspotting sequel will, then Government funds should be paid back to help other causes and not, as so often is the case, make the rich richer!

READING about Glasgow the Caring City charity being forced out due to a 400,000% rent hike, (Evening Times May 25) it’s shameful that our Glasgow City Council landlord City Property LLP are destroying businesses and charities.

Was City Properties set up to do this?

IT IS the apparent total lack of compassion that rankles me.

Is there no one in authority who can say leave this charity to get on with it, or is the paltry sum of £4,000 per annum so vital to to the landlords survival?

READING about the bus fare rise (Evening Times, May 19), the problem is First Bus have more or less got a monopoly in the greater Glasgow area which means they can charge what they want as they have no competition.

They should be required to give up a good number of their routes to encourage competition.

I USED a First Bus service from the city centre a few weeks ago early Friday evening as I had been out for a few drinks.

The state of the inside was a total disgrace, the bus itself was pretty modern.

I nearly fell over the amount of empty food bags some still containing half eaten food that had been left on the floor and the smell from the seats was ridiculous.

Note to self .....don’t use the bus again.

THE fare increase was extended to the monthly season ticket - the price for this has gone up from £39 to £44.

A £5 increase is unacceptable.
