We all love Glasgow - but at the same time we love to hate it - and rightfully so in a lot of cases. So we asked our audience of loyal Glaswegians, what they would like to see changed about the city.
Last month we posed the question, and thousands of Glaswegians got in touch, even after we wrote last months article. It wasn’t just Glaswegians currently living in the city, the comments came from all over the shop, people who had visited, people who had moved abroad, people that were young, old, or somewhere in between - people from all walks of life let their opinions be known on how Glasgow could be improved with new features.
In this follow-up we wanted to look at some other great points our readers raised - whether it was something we used to have which is sorely missed, or is a feature of other modern cities like Edinburgh, London or even Dundee that is absent from Glasgow, in this article we wanted to look at the things that are missing from Glasgow.
You can read the original article, 20 things Glasgow needs, but doesn’t have right now - as chosen by Glaswegians, here.
Here are 16 more things Glasgow needs but doesn’t have right now, as chosen by Glaswegians, which should be seriously considered by Glasgow City Council.
5. Bring back old bus routes
Other commenters from satellite districts around Glasgow (particularly in the North and East End) complained that they’ve seen many old bus routes cut over the last few decades. At times it can be quicker walking than waiting on two separate buses just to get into town. | East Dunbartonshire Council
6. A more modern metro system
Glasgow desperately needs a more modern metro system than what it currently has, it would solve a lot of transport issues Glaswegians have in the city. Currently plans are in the works for the Clyde Metro System, but that could take well over 20 years and millions upon millions of pounds to complete. Still though, the dream is nice - check out the picture above which is a computer generated image of what a Clyde Metro station could look like at Glasgow Airport | Contributed
7. A better airport
This one sparked up a debate in the comments - when one person argued that Glasgow Airport doesn’t hold a candle to Edinburgh Airport - saying many Glaswegians prefer to fly in and out of the capital terminal rather than their hometown airport. What do you think? Does Glasgow Airport need improved? Let us know in the comments. | Contributed
8. Bring back smoking in pubs
In all seriousness it’s probably a good thing we can’t smoke indoors anymore - but at this time of year when the weathers dreich, every smokers wanted to light up a cig indoors, just for a treat one day maybe Glasgow City Council? | Getty Images
