An Alexandria councillor has hit out at the state of the historic Smollett Fountain - saying she was embarrassed to stand beside it during Remembrance Day commemorations.
However Labour’s Michelle McGinty has praised the ongoing work to transform the heart of the Vale, with demolition work now underway on the eyesore Mitchell Way.
Speaking at a meeting of West Dunbartonshire’s community planning management board last week, Councillor McGinty said: “I was disappointed on Remembrance Sunday when we stood to take the salute from the veterans and the fountain had weeds hanging out of it. It was in an absolute state.
