A new campaign to “clean up Glasgow’s streets” has been launched by the GMB as the council continues its “deep clean” of the city.
The local authority has teamed up with organisations including Police Scotland and various housing associations to tackle the persistent problems with overflowing bins and fly-tipping after Glasgow was crowned the fly-tipping capital of Europe.
But the GMB says this is only a temporary solution and has started its own campaign for more street sweepers and cleansing workers to be employed using the council’s street cleaning budget.
