ALMOST one quarter of Scotland’s Labour MPs are standing down, only a few months before the general election. Are they jumping, or are they being pushed?

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT

YOU will be aware that I have recently been campaigning for more investment in journalism in Scottish weekly papers, which are in danger of losing local and national government public notice advertising to the internet.

Bonhill’s a ‘pig sty’ due to fly-tipping

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

JONATHAN McColl and May Smillie, SNP Leven Ward councillors, voted in favour of a new charge to be implemented for special uplifts. I personally think this is a disgrace, and I can only see it as a way of the council trying to profit.

New Labour hypocrisy over local newspapers

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

GIL Paterson MSP’s absurd attempt to rewrite history cannot lie unchallenged (Letters, February 12).

Row over West Dunbartonshire schools

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

I FELT compelled to reply to the ridiculous letter from Gil Paterson MSP published last week. Mr Paterson shamelessly claimed credit for the SNP building the three new secondary schools and three new primary schools in West Dunbartonshire.

I AM writing to say thank you to Janie for her kindness to me on Wednesday, February 3, at 11am at Morrisons car park, Dumbarton. She was an angel who, in spite of the bitter cold, changed my flat tyre for me.

West Dunbartonshire Council spending money on non-existent ‘problem’

Dumbarton - a town in decline

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

SO our soon-to-retire MP plans to keep busy in his retirement. Perhaps if he was busy with local issues in his 23-year tenure, Dumbarton would be a better place.

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

YOUR correspondent Martin Neill, of the Labour Party, is extremely ignorant of the school building programme in West Dunbartonshire under the SNP.

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

CAN West Dunbartonshire Council go any lower?

We’re delivering for West Dunbartonshire

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

I WAS disappointed to read the article ‘Cut costs 186 teaching jobs’ (Lennox Herald, January 15) as no approach was made to the Scottish government to respond to the criticisms from Jackie Baillie.
