Pest control callouts in North Lanarkshire are to remain free for the next year, and the area’s cemeteries are to be upgraded with improved paths and access under environmental plans contained in the authority’s budget.
Councillors last summer unanimously agreed to waive North Lanarkshire’s £49.15 cost for requests to deal with rat and mouse sightings after reports of vermin rose by 42 per cent during last year.
The cost was originally due to be suspended for 12 months until June 30, but this has now been extended until March 31, 2023.
