Local Road Chaos: Drivers are being diverted through residential streets in Drumchapel due to Great Western Road closures, with complaints about congestion, delays and lorries passing near a primary school. Mobility Compliance: Blue Badge holders in England are reminded permits are time-limited (three years) and misuse can bring fines.
