Frustrated residents who are “losing the will” over “incessant” fly-tipping in a Govanhill lane have received a boost after plans to install gates were approved on appeal.
Kingarth Lane, between Calder Street and Allison Street, is a hotspot for discarded rubbish, with mattresses, fridges and building rubble dumped in the area alongside household and food waste.
Members of Kingarth Lane community group have reported dealing with “dog faeces, human faeces, maggots and rats”, but their initial bid to put up gates was refused by council planners.
