Earlier this week, I wrote to our local Labour MPs - Marueen Burke and Martin Rhodes. I urged them to reject the plans to remove Winter Fuel Payments from thousands of constituents here in Glasgow.
I wanted to work collaboratively with them, that's why I did not publicise my letter on social media. However, following the vote they have made their views public - see the Glasgow Times article
As such, I now wanted to express my view.
On Wednesday 14 August, the World Health Organisation declared mpox a public health emergency of international concern.
The Scottish Government, along with the other governments of the UK, have met to discuss what has happened, and what we need to do to be prepared.
I have been contacted by a number of constituents regarding the temporary timetable on the Maryhill railway line (between Glasgow Queen Street and Anniesland). I had a meeting with ScotRail in August to raise the concerns I have regarding the latest temporary timetable.
Network Rail have let me know they will be investing £1m to upgrade the bridge over the railway on Dalsholm Road near Kelvindale station.

The measures implemented by the SNP Scottish Government to support hard-working families are quite comprehensive and, in some cases, unique within the UK.
A programme improving the quality of general practice care in disadvantaged areas of Greater Glasgow and Clyde will continue for a second year through £1 million of Scottish Government funding.
On Friday 5 July, Hamish MacQueen passed away. The word legend is over-used. In the case of Hamish MacQueen it is however very fitting.
Hamish would have hated such attention or praise. His contribution to the SNP and independence movement was immense. His commitment absolute.
I have received a number of enquiries from constituents about postal votes. Here is some advice on what to do.
A number of constituents have contacted me regarding the imminent changes to the SPT ZoneCard system. This will see a dramatic change in both the zones and pricing structure. Many of my constituents in Glasgow Maryhill and Springburn now face significant, unfair price increases. This is particularly pronounced for those who now find themselves traveling from just outside the new Zone One into Glasgow city.
