| Comment | So if nobody at all should be going to Mugdock, why is Mugdock and the roads to it not just closed outright?
Because we can apply common sense to the situation and responsively deal with the scenario of 10,000 people heading to Mugdock if and when it happens, and in the meantime assume that the very small number of people who are using it have a valid reason to be doing so, such as - I repeatedly highlight - the case that not everybody has access to open space near their homes.
I am NOT saying 'everybody go to Mugdock! Free for all!' I am saying that we are under a 'common sense' regime then 'common sense' dictates that 20 cars, or even 100 cars at Mugdock is not a problem that needs police attention. 1000 cars, maybe. This zealous overaction by the police is by definition diverting their attention, and at the weekend their attention would have been far more useful to preventing the spread of disease if they were parked on the Kelvin Way fining the hundreds of cyclists cycling inches from pedestrians! Patrolling remote car parks is the last thing they should be wasting their time on. |
