With Strathbungo’s new rubbish and recycling collection service in full swing, many of you may be impressed at the way the lanes are emptier of bins already…
Or maybe not.
I have spent an hour this morning trying to repatriate green bins to their owners; I did my best, but many don’t have numbers, so if you wander up the lane you might recognise one that has ended up in the wrong place and can reclaim it.
Meanwhile, I am doing my best to get the council to sort this out, and Land and Environmental Services have agreed to send representatives to the Community Council meeting on 6th October at 7.30pm at Shawlands Academy, and to our own AGM on 11th October at 7pm in Queeens Park Parish Church. If you want your say, why not come along?
Meanwhile, Councillor David Meikle has helped us out with the responsible council members, whose names and titles are below:
I have e-mail addresses for them all, but feel I ought only to post those publically available on the GCC website: “Booth, Robert (LES)” <Robert.Booth@glasgow.gov.uk> and George Gillespie <George.Gillespie@glasgow.gov.uk>. Please feel free to help out and send further letters or e-mails to those below so they can see the extent of the problem.
- Robert Booth, Executive Director Land and Environmental Services,
- George Gillespie, Assistant Director
- Andy Waddell, Neighbourhood Services Manager
- Stevie Scott, Neighbourhood Services Manager South
- Dougie Gellan, Area Manager South
Really glad they’re coming to the AGM. I know the issue of refuse collection comes up every year but this time round, I think we have a chance to nip a developing problem in the bud if they take our concerns seriously.
