With local council elections just two days away, a huge talking point among candidates and Glasgow residents is; what will be done about the current situation that has reached a "crisis" point?
Last month it was reported in a Council meeting a motion was presented by Scottish Labour that showed the findings of an IPSOS Mori survey that claimed that Glaswegian's satisfaction with street cleanliness was at its lowest in 10 years.
The Scottish Government have been blasted by opposition members for the current situation as reports have claimed that funding for street cleaning services has been slashed by 39 per cent in 10 years, a figure greater than £322m according to Scottish Labour.

However, despite recent pledges to action and allocation of funds, critique of the SNP council and government continues to pile up.
Scottish Labour Leader Anas Sawar slammed the SNP as he said: “You just have to look at the streets in Glasgow to see the consequences of these brutal cuts to cleaning, and the same is true for communities right across Scotland.”
“Bins are overflowing, litter is piling up and there are rats on the streets – this is nothing short of vandalism by the SNP.”

The Scottish Green's Jon Molyneux has also stated that the city is in a "shocking state" adding "This is an entirely avoidable problem, we’re spending public money picking up litter that shouldn’t be there."
Scottish Conservative's Thomas Kerr has also stated: "We believe the city has never looked as bad as it is with fly-tipping, rats running rampant, overflowing bins, potholes not being filled.
"There has been a complete denial by the council leadership that there has been a problem."
In November last year, the Scottish Lib Dem's, Willie Rennie, blasted the SNP by saying: "The SNP are treating the city like a tip. By the time next year's council election comes around, the SNP will literally be asking people to hold their noses and vote for them.
"Residents deserve better than a council who goes to war with workers and fills the streets with trash."
