Fears vulnerable Glaswegians could be at risk of falling in sub zero temperatures have been raised by cleansing workers struggling to grit the city's streets.
Glasgow’s GMB convenor Chris Mitchell says the cleansing department has been stretched to “breaking point” this winter as staff face hundreds of complaints each day about the gritting service local authority workers provide.
Mr Mitchell says he understands why members of the public are angry but has pointed out members are working their hardest to grit icy pavements during these hazardous conditions.
