If you use the road, by bus, car or bike, potholes are a serious hazard. They damage vehicles, cause accidents, and make for a very uncomfortable journey. Bus lanes are particularly bad, almost bouncing me off my seat at times!I've been trying to note down potholes where I see them and report them to Land and Environmental Services for repair.
There have been a few good patching jobs in my ward after I've reported a problem, and I'm hoping to do as much as I can to improve the road surface. I've just reported this bumpy bus stop on the Gallowgate at Coalhill near Parkhead Forge, and will be keeping an eye on it over the coming weeks.
If you have any complaints or particular areas you'd like to report, contact me at the details on the sidebar or get in touch with the Council on the RALF hotline.

This is a bit of a bombshell.
I don't know if I'd be able to continue to vote SNP if this becomes official policy.
This is taking the idea of Sotland in Europe far too far -

For some strange reason I switched on the telly last night and, after a few moments once I got my bearings, realised I was being confronted by the Turkish Eurovision entry - I'm still recovering today.
