Neilston Named Most Desirable Place to Live and Work in Scotland
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the news that a survey of postcodes in the UK has revealed that G78, the postcode for Neilston, is the best place to live and work in Scotland; understands that the study was conducted by the Centre for Economic and Business Research for Royal Mail and calculated on a range of factors including proximity to good schools, access to green spaces, good employment prospects, affordable housing and average commuting times; notes that the G78 code also includes Barrhead and Uplawmoor; considers that the postcode system revolutionised the way that post is sorted and delivered and continues to play an integral role in today’s technology-led world; understands that Neilston was once an industrial powerhouse, full of factories and cotton mills, and hopes that the village continues to flourish as a commuter village.
