Stop Rosebank ❗❗🔥🔥
The anger and push back in recent days shows that so many people know the UK Gov's decision to be the wrong one.
Recently we passed a motion asserting Glasgow City Council's position on Rosebank - there's no justification for it.

Rishi Sunak doesn't want to rip out your gas boiler because he wants you to remain dependent on the product of his friends - BP, Equinor, Shell etc.
He makes that very clear with his support for more oil and gas fields and tax breaks to the companies pursuing them.
🚨NEW Sunak's changes to net zero could cost UK households £8 BILLION.
At the same time, the UK taxpayer is set to give £11 BILLION in tax breaks to oil giants like
@Equinor
.
It's not about cutting costs. It's about boosting profits for energy companies

I'm really pleased to see the feasibility designs for transforming Victoria Park Drive South as part of the next stage of the Yoker to Whiteinch Liveable Neighbourhoods project - downgrading the presence of the expressway and improving the access from Whiteinch to her park ☀️
Looking forward to seeing designs for a more accessible entrance to Victoria Park from Whiteinch, as part of the Liveable Neighbourhoods update in March!
This is currently such a waste of space - it's time it was reclaimed for the walkers, wheelers and cyclers to enjoy ☀️🌿🚲

thinking they can insulate a significant amount of homes, invest in steel + electric batteries, set up 'GB energy' etc. with £4.8Billion a year shows just how un-serious they are

Great to see this coverage of community concerns around HGV and the freight hub outlined for South St, Whiteinch in the transport strategy.
"The community are concerned the trucks are getting bigger and heavier. Buildings are shaking as they pass by - people are anxious to have more traffic."
Plans to replace HGV "rat runs" with cargo bike journeys are being welcomed in parts of Glasgow. The council's new transport…

Yesterday I put forward an amendment that sought to vote down the budget for health and social care in Glasgow, add pressure and buy more time to demand more funding.
The cuts are devastating and will only continue to get worse if there is no immediate intervention.
Almost 200 jobs set to go as over £20m cuts to health and social care in Glasgow agreed.
There were calls to send a "distress flare" — by not setting a budget.

All 3 budgets tabled today from SNP, Labour and the Greens had to fill a 108million gap over the coming 3 years. So, all budgets had cuts and will therefore have devastating impacts to our public services that are already stretched.

Scot Gov & MSPs across all parties have needed to do more & need to do more to support local governments as they set their budgets in the coming weeks.
Health & social care in Glasgow is looking at cuts of £40m which are described as catastrophic & will lead to permanent damage
Glasgow faces almost impossible budget choices due to Scottish Government underfunding and Tory economic chaos.

I wrote about the new fruit and veg market due to launch at Whiteinch Cross for my
@clydebankpost
column 🍉
Also how it ties in with some of the other activity in the area such as potential growing projects and improving Whiteinch Cross 🧱🪴
Whiteinch Cross has recently been selected as an area for a local fruit and veg market, led by amazing local people working in food justice and provision 🍎🍐🍌
More info to come on this soon, with the organisers aiming for a launch date later this year, however...

Thanks
@BBCSheffield
for having me to discuss XR, I hope in future we can be more productive talking about the implications of the crisis for everyone rather than criticism that perpetuates the idea that acting on the climate crisis is not in the ordinary person's interest
This morning
@BBCSheffield

@tobyfoster
compared us and our demands to terrorists. This is misleading and dangerous. We are a non-violent direct action group who act with ferocious love in our hearts to protect the future of this planet.

Found this old shipping article at my grandad's. Didn't think I'd take after my dad in such a specific way but it's great to see he was talking about traffic management and pedestrian safety on South street whilst facilities manager at BAE approx. 20 years ago 😂

This is an absolute priority! The current green councillors worked to force a u-turn on cuts to services - we must ensure we are providing the consistent, necessary funding for women's aid organisations
@scotwomensaid
