City Council must oversee immediate recount

SNP MSP James Dornan is calling on Glasgow City Council to recount ballots as soon as possible after it emerged 380 ballots for the Langside Ward were overlooked.

Mr Dornan, who was an election agent for the Langside ward, said it was “extremely disappointing” that ballots which were scanned were not included in the count and demanded an immediate explanation from Glasgow City Council.

Glasgow Cathcart MSP James Dornan has today laid down a Parliamentary motion congratulating Castlemilk based Castle Precision Engineering Systems on being awarded the contract to build the 90kg solid aluminium wheels on the Bloodhound Supersonic Car.

The Bloodhound Project aims to build a supersonic car that will attempt to break the land speed record and reach an astonishing speed of 1,000 miles per hour. Chosen to engineer the wheels on the supersonic car is Castle Precision Engineering Systems, a prestigious engineering firm which was awarded the 2010 Institution of Mechanical Engineers Manufacturer of the Year awards.

Cathcart MSP James Dornan has today welcomed the announcement of an additional £80,000 of funding across Scotland from the Scottish Veterans Fund of which £5,732 will go to Glasgow’s Helping Heroes by laying down a motion in the Scottish Parliament.

Glasgow’s Helping Heroes was established in 2010 as an organisation that aims to provide information on access to and co-ordination of support across a wide range of areas including health, housing, social care, employability and financial services,  for service personnel and their families and carers.
