A BUSY area of the city centre is set to be restricted to some vehicles and pedestrians as improvement works begin.
As work begins this week for a fortnight on the refurbishment of the junction at Renfield Street and Gordon Street, a two-way temporary traffic signal will be installed.
The Gordon Street westbound cycle lane will be closed and the Union Street pedestrian crossing will also be closed.
THE post-Brexit replacement for the European Arrest Warrant is facing multiple legal challenges, Police Scotland has said.
Brexit has left the police force with “suboptimal measures” in place for dealing with crime across the continent, MSPs have been told, although the negative impacts have been “limited” so far.
But Holyrood’s policing committee heard that the legality of the fast-track arrangement introduced to replace the European Arrest Warrant is now facing challenges in the courts.
Police Scotland Deputy Chief Constable Will Kerr told MSPs of two cases in court that will “take some time to resolve”.
CHARITY staff have completed almost 7000 miles in 10 weeks during a walking challenge.
Staff at The Robertson Trust have helped to stay active in lockdown with the “Step Count Challenge” from Paths For All.
They successfully trekked a combined length of 6796 miles.
Gurdeep Kaur, funding officer at the charity, said: “It has been a fun way to get our steps in, which we were missing during our commutes to work, our lunch time walks round to the shop or a walking meeting.”
DEPUTY First Minster John Swinney has agreed to release key legal advice the Scottish Government received over Alex Salmond’s judicial review after facing threats of a no-confidence motion.
The advice relates to Alex Salmond’s successful legal challenge of the government’s harassment complaints procedure.
Mr Swinney said that subject to the mandatory legal checks and processes, the Scottish Government will release “the key legal advice” in order to counter “false claims being made by some”.
The Scottish Conservatives submitted a motion of no confidence in Mr Swinney at Holyrood yesterday saying he failed to comply with two parliamentary votes calling for the publication of legal advice.
Tory whip Miles Briggs MSP said he will not withdraw the Motion of No Confidence until given assurances that SNP ministers will deliver everything the committee has requested.
