THIS past week has seen a huge step forward taken in our plans for an entire new mode of transport for Glasgow. Scotland’s national transport agency has confirmed that it has recommended that a Glasgow Metro be taken forward as a priority in the coming years. Transport Scotland has made a really compelling economic, environmental and social case for Metro to service our city and its surrounding areas.

As temperatures drop, initially these snakes become less active and move about slowly, they then become torpid and are unable to move or to react to stimuli.
