A GREEN space in East Renfrewshire has been given protected status after years of campaigning by the community.

They use the roads as well, therefore any repairs benefit them as well. That being said, it would help if they stuck to the rules of the road as well and stopped at red lights, as the number of cyclists I see in Glasgow jumping lights is beyond a joke and our wonderful police sit and watch them do it. So, they should be treated the same as any other road user Ricardo Corrieri Posted online EVEN though Scottish councils have not been allowed to increase council tax this year, East Renfrewshire Council are indirectly increasing their council tax by stealth.
