Ahead of the work soon to begin on George Square, the 11 bronze statues there were removed for their restoration and return next year. Watch to hear about their restoration from conservation experts Rupert Harris Conservation and Cllr @AngusCMillar 📹👇

I raised the shocking decision to close Flourish House in Woodlands with @MareeToddMSP. This mental health recovery community provides a vital service for those who rely on it. The Scottish Government should step in and save this service.

I am honoured to have been nominated by @theSNP members to stand for selection in the newly expanded Glasgow Anniesland constituency. If selected, I’ll work to help put independence at the heart of the SNP’s 2026 Holyrood campaign, and use my experience to stand up for Glasgow.

After much persistence, a team of us have managed to save around half of the 1980 Metro-Cammell Glasgow Subway cars from the scrap yard. A huge thanks to @BenDC_ for his relentless work to secure deals for these much loved little trains for and project managing their re-homing.
