Call for Neighbourhood Improvement Volunteers

There are a large number of residents who are taking action to clean up back lanes and backcourts. However, there is still more to be done to tackle to problems of litter and flytipping. In the last week, I have reported numerous bits of furniture for uplift by Cleansing.

There are a back lanes in a poor condition with large quantities of furnishings and household refuse dumped. Residents are encouraged to get involved in clean ups and take action to prevent cleansing problems occurring.

I am supporting various groups who want to clean up their neighbourhood, backcourt or back lane. To find out about becoming a neighbourhood improvement volunteer go to the website of Glasgow Community Safety Services. Look out for posters advertising clean ups and visit local community gardens where you can also learn about local environmental activities.
