READERS have their say on the issues which matter...

COULD somebody please explain how the Primary School Estate consultation process can be classed as open and transparent and that the views of the people will be listened to.

There is an option on the consultation paper for every package to tick ‘no, this is not acceptable’.

Why then was this quote made on the STV News website recently by Council leader Rhondda Geekie: “At this stage it is still an informal process to decide where our new schools will be built and which ones will merge”.

Clearly the decision has already been taken by the council that new schools will be built regardless of the outcome of the informal consultation.

Even if every resident responded ‘no, this is not acceptable’ you have already chosen to ignore this.

Is this correct and can you advise if to your mind this constitutes fair and proper process?

I WONDER why the writer of the very long and comprehensive letter re meeting to save Chryston’s Nicolson Centre (Herald, January 16) needed anonymity.

THE Sighthill Stone Circle may not attract hordes of tourists and visitors, but those who do make their way to it are glad they did.

It’s a special place and I for one, all the way over here in Toronto, am glad I made the effort.

Please consider modifying your plans so Sighthill may remain intact.
