REVAMP FOR COUNCIL’S ONE STOP SHOP SERVICES

Under the plans, approved by councillors this week, the One Stop Shop team will join with Library Services and provide this assistance in all eight West Dunbartonshire library branches. The new facilities will be rolled out in the libraries over the next 15 months, enabling residents in places like Faifley, Duntocher, Parkhall and Balloch to access citizen services without having to travel to town centres. The move will also see the hours available to support residents with enquiries increased from 105 per week to 287 per week. In addition residents will now be able to access face-to-face support at evenings and on Saturday mornings.

HEALTH ALARM BELLS RING OVER VAPING

A study by cardiologists published on Wednesday found that e-cigarettes damage the brain, heart, blood vessels and lungs. The study, published in the European Heart Journal, examines how e-cigarettes can cause damage to the body through toxic chemicals produced in the vaping process, which may also be present at lower concentrations in vaping liquid.
