A rubbish “tax” blamed for an increase in fly-tipping has been axed – just weeks before council elections.
Piles of filth in Glasgow hit shocking levels last year, just as the city was about to host the COP26 climate change conference.
The GMB union protested that streets were overrun with 1.3million rats due to underfunding of council cleansing services and that fly-tipping had “gone through the roof” following the imposition of a £35 charge by the council to uplift furniture and bulky goods.
