BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Best Place to be a Woman : East Dunbartonshire

Residents of East Dunbartonshire talk about why it was named the best place to be a woman.

Woman's Hour speaks to residents from the area of East Dunbartonshire about why it was named the best place to be a woman.

Jane Garvey presents the programme live from the Fort Theatre, Bishopbriggs in East Dunbartonshire. One of thirty-two council areas in Scotland, it contains many of the suburbs of Glasgow as well as many of the city's commuter towns and villages. How important is education, housing, environment and culture? We hear from pupils at Bishopbriggs Academy. Jane speaks to different women from the area. They include the singer-songwriter Amy MacDonald; Kirstin Freeman, Rector All Saints Church; cafe owner Jennifer Tait; mother and businesswoman Tracey Eker and seventy-nine year old Margaret Smith who has lived in the area for nearly sixty years. They are joined by Catriona Stewart, Reporter and columnist with The Herald and Evening Times.
