Manky Mattresses and Dumb Council Hotlines
I've had a response from Glasgow City Council about the cockamamy Dumb Dumpers 'hotline' which doesn't work even though local people are asked to use this number to report fly-tipping.
More to follow soon.

Dumb Dumpers, Dumb Hotlines and Glasgow Council (July 27, 2022)
When I discovered the Glasgow Council's 'dumb dumpers' hotline didn't work the thought that went through my head was - how come one of the city's senior councillors didn't realise this was all phoney and complete waste of time?
I mean to say, surely someone within the city council was monitoring the system and asking pointed questions such as:
1) How many reports have we received this month/year?
2) How many 'dumb dumpers' have we brought to book and prosecuted?
3) How are we sharing news of the council's 'success' in cleaning up Glasgow and encouraging more local people to get involved?

Glasgow, Manky Mattresses and Anti-Social Behaviour (July 08, 2022)
Just the other day - dumped household rubbish blocking the public footpath on Arlington Street, complete with not one but manky mattresses.
Next thing you know the same thing happens round the corner in Woodlands Road.
Enforcement isn't easy I know, but maybe Glasgow Council should consider rewarding any publicly spirited citizens who report and help catch the anti-social morons who behave in this way?
After all everyone has a mobile phone with a camera these days.
