Milngavie MSP Des McNulty has forced SNP Planning Minister Keith Brown to admit that Tesco’s appeal against the decision to refuse the planning application for a monster store in Milngavie has cost £16,000 – and Tesco’s will not have to pay a penny.
Tougher laws are needed on knife crime to keep our streets safe. Far too many people are killed or injured in stabbing incidents.
The proposal for a massive Tesco’s in Milngavie was rejected by Councillors. Tesco’s appealed to Ministers who should have rejected the appeal out of hand, but instead referred it to a Reporter.

Clydebank and Milngavie MSP Des McNulty has accused the Justice Secretary, Kenny McAskill, of driving forward plans to close District Courts in Clydebank and Milngavie, which would mean cases in future would all be heard in the Sheriff Court building in Dumbarton
Des supports the move by Milngavie traders to set up Experience Milngavie as a vehicle to have the town centre designated as a business improvement district.
Roads and pavements in Bearsden and Milngaive are amongst the worst in Scotland. Many of them are potholed and patched and generally in a poor state, due to years of neglect. More money has now been allocated by the Council but the Scottish Government has diverted money to new road projects elsewhere, leaving insufficient fund to tackle the problem
