Gordon McKee paints a vivid picture of life in Glasgow’s Castlemilk district. In a November debate in the Commons, the Labour MP for Glasgow South described the issues faced by people trying to access affordable, healthy food in an area where the nearest supermarket is three miles away.

“It’s one of the most isolated areas in Glasgow,” he said. “Despite being just five miles from the city centre, there’s no train station, just unreliable buses. In an area where most people do not have a car, the options are a £6 return bus fare, if the bus turns up, a six-mile walk with heavy bags in the wind and rain, which there’s lots of in Glasgow, or spending £20 on a return taxi journey. For many people, that £20 is the choice between accessing healthy food and turning the heating on.”
