  • Every home owner must make a will
    When someone dies without making a will, it can cause confusion, bitter disputes and bereaved families being left financially insecure. Currently only 3 in 10 people have a will. People often don't want to make a will as they don't want to think about dying or they just don't get round to it. If the law made every home-owner have a legal will before they could buy a house, then it would greatly reduce these problems. A will does not need to be drawn up by a solicitor as it can just be a simple statement of your wishes. The only legal requirement is that it be signed by 2 witnesses. So it would not add too much effort or expense to a house purchase.

  • Ban Snares for hunting
    It is a barbaric and cruel way of hunting foxes,and rabbits, but also affects many wild and domestic mammals wildlife in Britain. The range is huge and includes, Badgers, rabbits, deer (muntjac and young deer), otters, hares, wild cats, stoats and many many more animals. A petition by MP's has been yadeto the Environment Minister but she has rejected it, on the grounds "hat land management and gamekeeping associations have developed a new code of practice on the use of snares that should be given “a chance to come into effect before even considering any further legislation”. Land mangement and gaming association are driven purely by self interests and could not care less of the suffering endured by snaring. I would not wish a death by snaring to my worst enemy, One must assume we have evolved from medieval practices in the 21st century, so why have snares. We humans should know better by now, then to inflict unnecessary pain and suffering to our fellow creatures, just to serve a few.

  • Child Access and visitation
    I feel that the resident parent is given more rights than the non resident parent. When it comes to visitation the non resident parent has to do all the traveling. In my position I have disabilities which mean I can only use public transport. I also have a minimal income which means a cost of around £150 per visit this is over a weeks money to me which means my health is affected. I am asking that both parent have to do 50% of the traveling and 50% of the school holidays. As many resident parents restrict access by not turning up to meeting places etc. I feel a parent should be there for their child at least 60% of the time.

  • Alert! Green's Hairdressing King Street to Close !
    The reason? A huge rent increase by the council, which makes it impossible for the business to continue trading. So, rather than a busy barber shop, and regular rent, the council will now be lumbered with another empty shop unit. Why so sad? Because they've been cutting my hair, and hundreds of others for 32 years plus. The salon manager David, who has been with the business for 45 years has cut my hair since I was in my teens through many styles and fashions. A loss of valuable expertise. The salon was established at Anderston Cross, by Jack Green in 1923. The business moved to King Street, off Trongate, in the late 1960s, when the M8 tore the heart out of Anderston. STV and the city's papers covered the story when the business celebrated its 90th birthday.
