The Sunday Mail reports that the sons of the gangster Lewis Rodden have secured the contract to provide security on the A80 online upgrade.

In my view it is quite typical of the government - and local councils when they also allow such companies to 'win' security contracts, there is much wringing of hands and shaking of heads - with the obligatory smarmy statements excusing them of the fact. However in the real world it might be no bad thing to just accept and admit that these people are in fact probably the best people to employ guarding construction site - as long as they are stronger than their gangland rivals and can guarantee the site won't be the victim of a mysterious fire.

No matter who is contracted to guard the A80/M80 siteworks - along the eleven miles - a determined photographic commando will get the through to take the pictures.
