In Scotland, The Indication Is That For The Westminster Elections At Least, Labour Voters Are Satisfied With Their Government.

The Impact Of The Downturn Is Starting To Feel Very Real. House Prices And The Housing Market Have Been Taking The Knock For Some Time And That's Affecting People.

Both The Velodrome And The Commonwealth Swimming Pool Are Open To The Public And Are Frequently Used By Local Schools And The Local Community.
