saintlyscot Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The proposed 75m womens super prison to replace Cornton Vale is to be scrapped. Quite a change in policy from the new justice secretary. This was one of Kenny Mccaskills babies. Smaller local units will now be built for women offenders.

Flure Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I think this reflects the majority (if not consensus) opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Embarassing climbdown by the SNP. Be interesting to know how much money has been wasted on preparatory works at the Greenock site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to know how much money has been wasted on preparatory works at the Greenock site. The correct decision seems to have been reached eventually. Michael Matheson has reviewed the evidence and seems to have a coherent plan going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teecee- Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I could see the benefit of Greenock namely less travelling time for most visitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boynze Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 to be fair 75m is a lot of women, so probably oversized in the 1st place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmondo Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 It was to be on the site of my old school and is on my way home from work each day. They've flattened the whole lot and altered the road and redirected the burn that runs parallel to it. I'm predicting ASDA will be built on it, although funnily enough, from a young age I always thought it would be a great sight for Morton to build a new stadium(not that it's ever going to happen).
