“I want us to recognise that we have a specific challenge in Glasgow and I don’t think it’s right that Glasgow carries on perpetual lockdown – that in itself would have a negative effect on people’s health and wellbeing," he said. “I think we need urgent action – not a timid response, not inconsistency of the messaging, not an inconsistency of decision-making. “Let’s identify those hot-spot areas, let’s get mass PCR testing, door to door if necessary. Let’s have pop-up clinics for the vaccine for anyone aged 18 and above whether they’ve got an appointment or not they can turn up and get their vaccination and let’s get our city open again.”
