Easterhouse And Castlemilk
EDM number 750 in 2008-09, proposed by John Mason on 10/02/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Regeneration.
That this House rejects the description of Easterhouse and Castlemilk as scummy estates by Fraser Nelson in The Spectator; condemns the use of sweeping and inaccurate descriptions to characterise any community; recognises that, while these areas have problems to overcome, great progress is being made; and encourages Mr Nelson, or anyone who shares his perceptions, to spend time in the east end of Glasgow and see at first hand the great achievements, regeneration and true community spirit that exists.
This motion has been signed by a total of 14 MPs.
