Crookfur playing fields OPPOSITION councillors are concerned a proposed 25-year lease could mean only a “handful” of footballers can access Crookfur playing fields. St Cadoc’s Youth Club wants to rent the land from East Renfrewshire Council and has plans to build two artificial pitches. A 25-year lease at £1 per year has been suggested, and public consultation on the plan will be held. Tory councillor Barbara Grant said: “I’m wondering how is this proposal going to benefit the community, rather than a handful of people who might be in teams?” She added it was a “bit of a worry” if the park would be used purely for football.

Biden s 100-day approval ratings solid but heavily partisan
11:02 a.m.
President Biden is drawing mostly favorable reviews as he nears his 100th day in office, new polls show. But the surveys still suggest there s a deep partisan divide across the United States.
A CBS News/YouGov poll found that 58 percent of Americans approve of Biden s job overall, while a
Washington Post/ABC News poll pegs the figure at a similar, but slightly less rosy 52 percent. Both surveys registered low marks for Biden among Republicans who approved of Biden s job at a 16 percent and 13 percent clip, respectively. In terms of the CBS poll, that s a slight improvement from former President Donald Trump s approval among Democrats at his 100-day mark, but it s well below the opposing party numbers for former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, highlighting the increased polarization in the country.
