Clydebank’s streets are known for many things but nothing compares to the amount of litter that people drop all over Clydebank. One local citizen states “you can’t even walk down any street in Clydebank without getting something caught under your feet”. Despite West Dunbartonshire Council supplying various amounts of litter bins they are subject to vandalism more than anything else. People should be proud of where they live and by throwing away litter it makes them look like they don’t care about what happens in their street. Much effort has been and still is put in to try to make towns like Clydebank look clean and tidy but by deliberately dropping litter in a public place the vast majority of the community are made to suffer, in turn this litter problem is not good for the local residents as well as the community. |

Pupils were blown away after Chloe's performance during the semi finals. It was obvious that she would make the final of “Clydebank High’s Got Talent”. Singers, dancers and musicians from every year group auditioned for Clydebank’s Talent show. Over 30 performers were put through to the Semi-Finals of the competition, where the competition really started to heat up. Singing seemed to be a popular choice for those who auditioned, with the likes of Allanah , Erin and Danielle performing songs from Rihanna, Adele and Bruno Mars. Pupils who performed showed talent and confidence making the judges decision very difficult for the final 4. Chloe, Shelby, Allanah and the boy band, You Can’t Be Too Careful, all made the final and performed in front of a packed assembly hall. You Can’t Be Too Careful performed a cover of Green Day’s “American Idiot”, Allanah sang Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep”, Shelby danced to a remix of Rihanna’s “Take A Bow” and Chloe sang a mix of Jessie J’s “ Do It Like A Dude” and Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way.” All finalists received positive comments from the judges, but there could only be one winner. The winner received won the competition and received a £40 Clyde shopping centre voucher and 100 house points. This just shows Clydebank High does have talent! |

Over the festive season, it’s common for people to have a drink with friends and family. However, Strathclyde Fire and Rescue have experienced many fatalities over the period of December through to January, all supposedly linked to alcohol consumption. Over 5 people, including a woman on January 1st, have died in house fires. Strathclyde Fire and Rescue Chief Officer, Brian Sweeney, has stressed that Scotland must take responsibility for their alcohol intake, not just over Christmas and New Year. Mr. Sweeney also explained that this is the worst series of fires that SFR have seen in 10 years. House fires have supposedly occurred due to heavily drunk victims starting to cook or smoke, then falling asleep. SFR were looking to introduce new safety measures, such as linked alarms and sprinklers, to the general public. 31 people died in house fires last year. If linked alarms had been installed, estimates show that 18 people would have been saved. A major fire which took place in Paisley was recently mentioned on Reporting Scotland. Kevin Wemyss, his partner and four children were rescued from the tenement fire by SFR officers using an aerial ladder platform. Watch Commander Stephen McNab rescued Mr. Wemyss’ 10month old daughter from the blaze. We had the chance to speak to Station Commander Andrew MacLure, asking his opinion on the recent series of fires in the Strathclyde area. Mr. MacLure said that he thought the recent fires were caused by substance misuse. Mr. MacLure also stressed the fact that Strathclyde Fire and Rescue offer free home fire safety visits and people should seriously consider taking up the offer. Scotland must cut back on alcohol intake and be precautious when handling cigarettes or cooking. |
