There were three fire appliances were withdrawn on a temporary basis from Fire Stations at Govan, Cowcaddens and Maryhill in 2023. The consultation supported the reinstatement of the second wholetime fire appliance at Maryhill Fire Station which I supported in my response.

There is a road closure on St. George's Road from St. Georges Place to Maryhill Road during these works. There are restrictions on access to the local footpaths and roadway during these works.

Support for Peace Walk in Kelvingrove Park

This month, I supported the Beacon of Peace Scotland Charity Committee's fun walk/run along the footpaths of the Kelvingrove Park. I joined members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Scotland in this charity walk.
