Remembering Paul Kelly
The motion
That Parliament pays tribute to Paul Kelly, who was well known and loved in Glasgow and East Kilbride as a friendly and valued member of The Big Issue team; notes that 50-year-old Paul was a vendor for The Big Issue for over 15 years until he was found injured and died outside his home in Knightswood on 15 June 2019; welcomes the fond tributes pouring in from members of the public who knew Paul from his Buchanan Street Sainsbury’s pitch in Glasgow and Marks & Spencer and St Leonards Square in East Kilbride, remembering him as kind, polite, friendly and for his good banter; extends its condolences to all who loved Paul, including his family, friends and his extended family at The Big Issue, and notes that a book of condolence is to be opened in East Kilbride for local people to pay their respects to Paul, which has been organised by Claremont Parish Church and Tesco St Leonards, and will be on display in the Square from 8am until 4pm on 23 June.
