Politicians, police officers and residents
grappled with the thorny issues of parking, bus services and
recycling at a packed public meeting in Mansewood this
evening.
Tom Harris, MP for Glasgow South, joined Charlie Gordon, MSP for
Cathcart and Pollokshaws councillor, Stephen Curran, to listen to
local residents' views at Mansewood Community Centre, Parkneuk
Road.
Top of the agenda was proposed changes to FirstBus service 29,
which will have to change its route from this summer due to a new
disabled-friendly bus design which will make it more difficult to
navigate through some of the narrower local streets.
Representatives of FirstBus were also present to hear local
people's concerns.
Tom said afterwards: "I was really impressed at such a large
turnout. Mansewood has always been an area with an acute sense of
community, and that was in evidence tonight."
