A resident who lives near Glasgow’s West End is calling on the council to take urgent action against a rat infestation that’s plaguing the neighbourhood. The vermin outbreak has led to Glasgow City Council being forced to put wheelie bins in parking bays on the road, taking up vital spots for residents.
The affected streets include Dryburgh Gardens and Melrose Gardens. The council said it’s "unsafe" to carry on with normal bin collection services - which usually take place from the bin sheds - due to a "severe" rat infestation.
Diarmid McBride, who has lived on nearby Wilton Street for 11 years, says finding parking spots is difficult enough and is calling on the council to bring in pest control.
