Glasgow Fair - men at work

Glasgow's traditional Fair holiday weekend and it's 9.30pm on Fair Sunday, with the council's Land & Environmental Services team working to resurface Prospecthill Road.

This is a key route across the south of the city with the new surface being laid right next to the busy Asda Toryglen - open 24 hours a day - and the popular new Toryglen Regional Football Centre in an area where my council colleague Bailie James Scanlon leads the local authority work of Labour's team with the support of Councillor Anne Marie Millar alongside James Kelly MSP and new MP Anas Sarwar.

Key roadworks such as this are planned to cause the minimum disruption so it was important to use the holiday weekend for this vital work with the roads slightly less busier than usual and the new surface was ready for streams of traffic the following day.

It's important to praise the council staff who have gone through considerable service reform - including significant changes to shift patterns in Land and Environmental Services - for the important work they do all year round in communities across the city.
