Glasgow Equal Pay Mural - Kingston Bridge

 

I wrote to the Chief Executive of Transport Scotland (Roy Brannen) the other day about the proposal to place an equal pay mural on the south side of Glasgow's Kingston Bridge.

Here's what I had to say - fingers crossed for a positive response!

Dear Transport Scotland

Glasgow's Kingston Bridge

I would like to raise with Transport Scotland the possibility of placing a mural on the south bank of Glasgow's Kingston Bridge.

I have been looking for a suitable site for some time, on behalf of equal pay claimants in Glasgow, and believe this would be an excellent location to highlight an important issue in the life and times of the city, as well as being a big improvement on the ugly graffiti which adorns the site at the moment.

The project would be at zero cost to Transport Scotland and is supported by the representatives of the Glasgow equal pay claimants - Action 4 Equality Scotland, GMB, Unison and Unite (the three recognised trade unions in Glasgow City Council). 

I would aim to resolve all the specific details going forwards once agreement, in principle, has been reached.

Can you put me in touch with someone at Transport Scotland whom I can speak with directly regarding this proposal?

Kind regards

Glasgow Equal Pay Mural - Not a Done Deal! (June 12, 2021)


The fact that Transport Scotland owns Glasgow's Kingston Bridge doesn't mean this mural business is a done deal, of course.

You'd think they'd be keen to have a nice mural of Glasgow women fighting for the rights to equal pay - instead of this ugly graffiti.

But you never know, so watch this space!

  

Glasgow Equal Pay Mural - Location, Location, Location (June 05, 2021)

 

I wonder if this site under the Kingston Bridge would be a good location for a mural to celebrate Glasgow's fight for equal pay?

All I need to do is find out who owns the property, get their permission and find a someone who can do the work for an agreed fee.

LGB Rights - Hijacked By Intolerant Zealots!

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'.
