A MARYHILL man is calling on the Scottish Government to provide free masks for anyone who needs them. Alex Wallace believes that everyone in the country should be entitled to the free face coverings to help stop the spread of Covid-19. The 52-year-old said: “I’m calling for free face masks, more so for the vulnerable people including homeless people, people on benefits, and the thousands of people losing their jobs. “I believe they should come under the same category as sanitary towels, and these are given out for free in Scotland. “It costs about £5 for a packet of 10 masks and people can’t afford to pay this every week. I’m concerned about the amount of people losing their jobs and not being able to afford the cost.
PARTICK Thistle Football Club have pledged their support in calling on the council to rename Maryhill Library after Maria Fyfe, who was a passionate supporter of the team. The former MP for Maryhill, who represented the area from 1987-2001, passed away in December, last year, aged 82. Last week, Keiran O’Neill, Labour and Co-op Candidate for Maryhill and Springburn, sent a letter to Glasgow City Council calling for the library, which housed her constituency office, to be named after Maria. And now a cross-party group of politicians have joined his calls, along with Gerry Britton, chief executive of Patrick Thistle, who will be writing to the council supporting the campaign.
