In Parliament
Today I highlighted the highly dangerous former Promat site in Springburn with the First Minister.
I have been pursuing serious safety concerns for some time and will meet Glasgow City Council, Police Scotland and SEPA again next week. The site is an accident waiting to happen and needs cleared.
I submitted a motion to Parliament congratulating a group of cyclists from the Celtic Minded forum on successfully undertaking a significant one-day cycling challenge on 25 May 2023, to mark the 56th anniversary of Celtic FC winning the European Cup in Lisbon.
I submitted a motion to Parliament to welcome the recent announcement by Merck of 450 new jobs at the West of Scotland Science Park, in the Glasgow Maryhill and Springburn constituency.
I submitted a motion to Parliament congratulating Saracen Primary School, in the Glasgow Maryhill and Springburn constituency, on its excellent report following a recent inspection by a team from Education Scotland.
Hospital at home is a success and should be expanded. It has allowed more than 300 Glaswegians to be at home rather than in hospital. This week, I am sponsoring Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland’s exhibit in the Scottish Parliament promoting the hospital to home service that it offers.

It was pleased to speak in a members debate in the Scottish Parliament about good causes. It was a good time to congratulate the work of good causes. Many of us here in Maryhill are looking forward to the “People Make Maryhill” awards night next week, where we will recognise the amazing people that go the extra mile across our communites to help others.
I submitted a motion to Parliament today (Thursday, 18 May 2023) congratulating "Our Grades Not Visas" on its nomination for the Community Action award at the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) Scottish Charity Awards 2023.
