Quotes

"This information needs to be considered as part of all the Council's consultations with the public, and we also need to see the results at the end of the year so we have the clearest possible picture."
"The people of Clydebank need to know the authorities take this issue very seriously. Specialist fire investigation teams work to provide our colleagues in the police with information to help ensure the criminals responsible for endangering our community are held to account."
"I want the council to restore the subsidy and abolish the means testing. If someone's got no money and they go into a care home and they contribute their pension to pay for their care then that's fine but why should someone who has worked all the days of their life, been a model citizen and saved a few pounds lose out?"
Sheriff Simon Fraser told Brogan: "I can understand your frustration at your stupidity at gambling away £700 in an afternoon but that does not entitle you to smash up other people's property."
