The union wants more community enforcement officers in the city able to issue fines for fly-tipping.
Fly-tipping in Glasgow needs tougher enforcement if a national strategy to increase penalties is to work a union has said.
“Glasgow City Council and Scottish Government start telling the truth. Your policies have failed, they’ve failed communities. It’s having a devastating effect on my members and communities that we serve.”The Glasgow Times has highlighted fly-tipping across the city, in streets, on wastes ground, in cemeteries, old railway lines and back lanes, with residents angry at a lack of action to prevent people and businesses dumping where they please.
“We call on Glasgow City Council to adopt the Scottish Government's litter and fly-tipping strategy immediately and in full by working with GMBto invest in front-line jobs and reverse their decision to city Community Enforcement Officers in the city by half."
