Housing charity Shelter criticise the landlord registration scheme as toothless, saying there are "still cases where tenants had been illegally evicted, threatened, or even assaulted."
After taking part in a demonstration for lack of job security in 2006, 14 workers of contractor “Transportes Camila de SIDOR” could be sentenced to 5 to 10 years in jail.
Oatland Leisure Gardens in Glasgow are under threat. These allotments face eviction due to a housing development, and worryingly, sheds and greenhouses are being repeatedly vandalised, by people more organised and methodical than just alienated youth.

Cuba is closely monitoring the new virus of swine flu that has caused over 100 deaths in Mexico, dozens of cases in the US and is being reported in several European countries. Statements by Cuban Public Health Vice Minister Luis Estruch in Granma daily this Tuesday say the Caribbean island has no confirmed or suspicious case reports.
Information obtained from Glasgow City Council through a Freedom of Information Request shows there has been an intention to close Wyndford Primary School since at least 2006.
That contradicts official explanations for the closures. Consultation on the closures started Janaury 2009 only. Parents and staff were unaware of any possibility of closure until then.
Since 2006, repairs and building investment costing £274k was spent on Parkview Primary, versus £28k on the similar Wyndford Primary. Parkview Primary is to receive the ex-Wyndford Primary children from September 2009.
New windows in Parkview are only a relatively small part (£87k) of that difference.
