No Clean City - Glasgow Live (October 21, 2022)

Glasgow has been named as one of the dirtiest cities in the world according to a Time Out readers poll.

I am heading for Rome later this year, so I'll be able to judge for myself how Italy's capital fares compared to Glasgow.

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'.
