Third world?

READING about staff and patients abandoning their cars in the Queen Elizabeth University hospital car park (Evening Times November 14), when is this embarrassment going to stop?

It’s all another indication that Scotland has become a third world country under the leadership of this SNP government.

What chance do we all have when Glasgow City Council, and the SNP government, are unable to arrange such a simple thing as a parking area for patients and visitors to the so called flagship of Scottish hospitals?

When they were planning and designing the the hospital was it too much to take into consideration that outpatients, and visitors to patients would be using cars and they would have to park them.

Shuttle solution

I FIND it strange that there is a huge movement to make hospitals free from smokers, yet they allow people to bring in two ton metal boxes that spew out pollution far greater than that of a few fags or a vaping device.

Build a car park on the outskirts of the city and run a frequent bus shuttle between it and the hospital and keep cars out of hospital grounds.

Misery for all

READING about residents facing Christmas without their homes following the wall collapse in August (Evening Times November 15), this appears to be another example of the failure of building repairs due to disagreements between owners and factors.

Factors unfortunately don’t help these situations with their processes, which merely antagonize owners.

In this instance, having paid factor’s fees, it’s unlikely that the owners have the money to commission another independent structural survey.

With the council coming down on the side of the so-called experts, because that is the easiest course of action, all that happens is misery for all.

This is a major route to the Expressway, it seems very strange that the clearance of the rubble hadn’t happened.

What happened to any Common Good Fund?

Council must act

EVERY property has title deeds outlining every detail and dimension. I think the area affected was once a communal back court.

It looks like stagnation has set in here again. It must be time for the council to take the big decision and get it repaired or demolished.
