I was pleased to read the news about 750 homes to be built across Glasgow.

The city needs good quality, affordable homes for families of all sizes and on all budgets if we are to do anything to avert the current housing crisis.

Also, new homes and investment is needed to get the increasing numbers of rough sleepers off the streets.

I hope these houses are a success for the people who eventually come to live in them.

I hope the residents of the Clydebank block of flats where there is asbestos get it sorted out soon.

Your home is supposed to be a haven but this must be a horrible stress and worry to live with.

It is a disgrace that new homes are being built across the city and these people are still living in these kind of conditions.

Yes, the flats are due to come down.

But they should have been brought down years ago.

It should be compulsory to give blood, especially when stocks are low and it is so important.

Giving blood saves lives and people should want to do it because you never know when you will fall ill and have an accident and need blood yourself.

But people say they are too busy or too squeamish to do it.

Tough. No one is too busy to save a life.

I found the letter from A MacLean, Glasgow, to be one of the most heartless contribution to Evening Times letters page ever.

What parent would not fight to their last breath to find their child who has been abducted, regardless of the cost?

And what has their financial situation or if they are photogenic or not have to do with?

Madeleine McCann’s case is one off the most heartbreaking ever.

Instead of criticism, support and prayers might be more appropriate from the writer, especially at this time of year.

How can 900 posts be vacant in city hospitals when the government is saying it will cut bursaries for nurses?

The situation is a disgrace. Will no one step up and sort it?
