Rubbish piling up in the streets of Nicola Sturgeon's Glasgow constituency could spark a public health emergency if the situation is not tackled, a local councillor has warned.
Refuse workers said that some areas of Govanhill were 'drowning in waste', while the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) saw first hand how streets were strewn with foul-smelling waste.
A Glasgow City Council Spokesman said the situation was at least in part being caused by businesses and private landowners failing to properly dispose of their waste, and warned that enforcement action would be taken if they did not clean up their act.
