9/7/21 Work has started on a site for a new Burger King and Starbucks drive thru development in the west of Glasgow. Mechanical diggers have moved on to the stretch of green space between the Clydeside Expressway and Glasgow Harbour, close to the Thornwood Roundabout. The plans are for a Starbucks Café and Burger King restaurant two separate drive thrus on the site. The café and restaurant will be able to operate from 7am until midnight. The development was given approval despite objections from the local MP, the then MSP, and a local councillor.

Nicola Sturgeon applauded Stewart as she arrived at the count to congratulate her new parliamentary colleague. She said: “I have never wanted to hug someone so much in my life,” the First Minister said, adding she was “thrilled beyond words” at the result. “It has taken us far too long, more than 20 years, but today she becomes the first woman of colour to be elected to our national Parliament,” she said. “Party politics aside this is a really special and a very significant moment for Scotland and I could not be prouder right now.” Glasgow Kelvin had been a key seat for the SNP to hold – and Stewart comfortably saw off a challenge from the Green’s co-leader Patrick Harvie who was bidding to become the first from his party to win a constituency seat in Scotland.
