Listening council
READING about the SNP scrapping parking charges for residents living near Glasgow’s super hospital if they win May’s election (Evening Times February 13), could Glaswegians finally be on the verge of getting a council which listens to them?
Could we see council officers who no longer feel that they can do as they please as long as they keep certain councillors happy?
It’s time Glasgow had a council that will do things for them and not to them.

Parking shambles
THE councillor promising to scrap the parking charge at the hospital if they win the election was, in a previous incarnation, a Labour councillor.
Speaks volumes of this wee man’s backbone.
I had a appointment on a Sunday and the parking was a shambles, cars abandoned everywhere and the disabled bays courtesy use was totally ignored.
I always find it funny how two wrongs make a right.

New crossing
IT’S not only inadequate parking, but an inadequate road network and transport system around the new hospital.
Another crossing over the Clyde would have been useful with some sort of monorail or tram system.

Unfair subsidy
READING about Hyndland Secondary becoming a School of Tennis (Evening Times February 13), how is this going to help kids from working class areas to get involved in tennis?
Is this the net result of all the campaigning work done by Judy Murray who appealed to the SNP government?
It is the same with all the health initiatives aimed at the poor areas which are hijacked by the middle classes.
Is there any tax-payers money being pumped into this? Yet again the poor are subsidising the middle-classes!

Moronic parking
READING about the parents parking dangerously at St Paul’s primary (Evening Times February 9), you should send one of your photographers to St Helens primary in Bishopbriggs and see how the moronic parents park in Bemersyde Road.
East Dunbartonshire council should hang their heads in shame.
