I was born in Duntarvie Crescent (prior to the new-build programme) and I understood that, the only way out of this run-down, gone to the dogs area, was education. I simply applied myself thereof, and threw all my time into my studies!
The local politicians, no matter what they promise, do not give a damn about our run-down areas of Glasgow; in fact, it is because of them, that it has taken years for any improvement; and even these are superficial.
Ebs. Doctor. London.

stayed in buchlyvie path for 24 yrs , from 1964 to 1987, whe young it was a great place to stay but in the 80,s drink, drugs was out of control, you could not go to one end of easterhouse to another in fear of getting ur cunt kicked in, as you stayed in a diff gang area, in fact am glad i left and seen a bit of glasgow that was not a dump, stop kidding on folks the place is the pits i never thought of it that way until i had left for a few years,

I can remember playing in the street without any worries, no boarded up houses, no derilect buildings. I have stayed in shandwick st for my entire life its sad to see a once great area in ruins. Hopefully with the new building work and regeneration the area can become great again. 5*

Shafted by Thatcher, shafted again by Bliar and ignored by Tory Broon.
Lets hope FFS that the SNP can help the folk out.

what a disgrace, i was brought up in easterhouse on kildermorie road in fact . it did not always look like this, when i was a wean we were all outside playing in the summer and there was a real sense of community no houses were boarded up most of the gardens were nice . easterhouse has always been neglected though they just leave people out there to rot its a shame but i have some great memories of growing up there .

Its a fucking crying shame that in less than 15 minutes drive from most of these locations you'll find the HQ's of some of the most profitable companies in Europe. I love Glasgow and am ashamed that some of my fellow Glaswegians have to live in such shitholes. |
