It was amazing to attend the Cardonald Community Funday run and organised by Include Me 2 Club.
With over 3000 visitors the event was a suberb success and the weather was awesome.
Huge thanks to the 30 plus stall holders, food trucks and staff for making this such a success.

This morning I had a tour of Nethercraigs and Pollok United Soccer Academy facilities.
It was great to see the improvements being made to the building and playing areas. The new pitches are looking impressive.
The building itself has had some much needed TLC and is looking great.

Great to be out in support of Katy Loudon in the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by election.
Superb backing for Katy in Stonehouse today. Labour have gone back on pre general election promises and have deceived the Scottish public.

Absolutely delighted to see Zen Ghani picked as our candidate for Glasgow Cathcart and Pollok.
Zen will be a superb candidate who will work hard for every single person in the constituency and help to deliver independence.

Yet again we see evidence of the lack of commitment to the people of Glasgow. Elected on a bed of lies and empty promises.

I was absolutely delighted to be invited to Sandwood Primary Schools production of the Lion King this afternoon.
What an amazing and talented bunch of kids the school has.
Huge thanks to everyone for producing a superb and entertaining show. The standing ovation at the end was well deserved.

Delighted to see investment in Cardonald library being announced at today's SNP council budget. Cllr McSporran and I have been pushing the city treasurer to make funds available to remove RAAC from the building and to commence the work to have this vital facility opened again.

Had a great time judging the Burns Poetry competition at Sandwood Primary School this afternoon.
Cllr McSporran and I look forward to this event every year and it is a real honour to be asked by the school to be part of the judging panel.
The children are superb and just get better every year.

Today I was delighted to attend @acvc_hub Christmas Art Gallery & Market.
Huge thanks to Allen and Gaynor for hosting this afternoon. The work you both do is awesome. Of course I had to make a couple of purchases but in truth I could have spent a fortune on items.

On my visit to Rosshall Nursery school this morning I have taken note of several issues requiring urgent attention.
The standard of roads around the school is alarming and need repaired asap.

This maybe on the border of the Cardonald Ward but come along and grab a tea or coffee and a chat.
A great event to meet people and get out of the cold.

Real pleasure to be out with my fellow Cllrs campaigning in Partick East/Kelvindale for the SNP candidate Cylina Porch. Labour are letting down our citizens and backtracking on pledges they made pre-election.
