Glasgow's Getting Worse - Not Miles Better!
Attempted to get @GlasgowCC bulky uplift organised on website: had to provide DOB and gender as well as sign data agreement, oh and they’ll remove the £35 from my bank before I get a date for collection.

I assume complaining about this makes me far right though eh Suze?
I have no idea why Glasgow City Council requires people's date of birth and gender to organise a 'bulky uplift', but the SNP council is taking a pasting from ordinary citizens - and rightly so!

The SNP have just announced they're throwing everything at 'Operation Clean Up Glasgow' in the run up to COP26!
Glasgow's Getting Worse - Not Miles Better! (August 13, 2021)
Glasgow’s problems with waste management, fly-tipping, litter and graffiti have all got much worse under the SNP - parts of the city resemble a midden these days!
And it's local people who are highlighting the council's failings rather than visiting politicians.
Glasgow's Getting Worse - Not Miles Better! (August 08, 2021)
I haven't read the Sunday Herald's full interview with Susan Aitken yet, but the point is that while people have dropped litter, fly-tipped and spray-painted graffiti on buildings for years - these problems have all become far worse under the SNP.
Glasgow's Getting Worse - Not Miles Better! (August 02, 2021)
More evidence from Glaswegians highlighting just what a 'midden' parts of the city have become - despite the claims from Glasgow Council that everything is just tickety boo!
I wonder if Glasgow's MSPs and MPs are all on holiday or something because to a woman and a man they're all as quiet as wee church mice?
Or maybe they've been ordered to 'wheesht for indy' by SNP HQ?
Operation Clean Up Glasgow! (Not Just For COP26!) July 28, 2021
Glaswegians are using social media to highlight just what a 'midden' parts of the city have become - despite the claims from Glasgow Council that everything is just tickety boo!
Anyone heard Glasgow's MSPs and MPs speaking out on this subject, by the way, or are they all still being as quiet as wee church mice?

Parts of Glasgow do look nice, but that's hardly the point when other areas of the city are filthy, unkempt and covered in ugly graffiti.
What's needed is a joined-up strategy led by the City Council and which is not just for the benefit of COP26.
Glasgow - Can't Catch the Vandals? (June 13, 2021)
More mindless graffiti spray painted on this building in Glasgow's west end.
Someone must know who this moron 'Jono' is and if the campaign to clean up Glasgow is to be taken seriously, there has to be a strategy for dealing with such deliberate anti-social behaviour.
Cleaning Up Glasgow (June 05, 2021)
Glasgow City Council said it was launching a new initiative aimed at cleaning up this 'dear green place' in the run-up to the CPO26 climate change conference in November.
I haven't heard much since, but they could make a start by dealing with old BHS building on Sauchiehall Street which has been allowed to become and ugly, terrible eyesore.
If so, I hope the city authorities don't just clean the place up for a few weeks while the visiting dignitaries are in town - then things slide back into a vandalised state of disrepair.
Because that would be treating the people of Glasgow as idiots and the last time I looked, my head doesn't button up the back.
Glasgow - 'Can't Catch The Vandals' (May 12, 2021)
I think I deserve a prize for this photo of the Police driving past ugly graffiti down on Clyde Street which boasts 'Can't Catch The Vandals'.
Now there's an obvious truth in this statement but in my view, Glasgow City Council doesn't have a credible strategy in place for tackling the problem.
Asking local citizens to play a part in cleaning up Glasgow is a good thing in principle.
The problem is that this should be an ongoing priority for the Council - not just a gimmick from the city's politicians in the run-up to the COP26 conference in November 2021.
Glasgow's Street Graffiti (May 10, 2021)
Council leaders are asking Glasgow citizens to play their part in cleaning up the city ahead of the international COP26 climate change conference in November.
So here's my tuppence worth - write to all the estate agents and tell them to stop polluting the city with their For Sale and For Rent signs.
If they don't listen, the Council should pass a local by-law allowing them to fine the culprits.
As far as I can see this street graffiti problem is entirely home grown and not the result of some Westminster plot, so the City Council must be able to tackle the issue.
And while I'm at it I must add that it's crazy that it takes an international conference for the SNP council to take graffiti and street cleanliness in Glasgow much more seriously.
