| Comment | Litter picking, as a kid I helped in the Yoker clean up campaign, last month I passed my same primary school where they were out teaching the kids to pick litter, it doesn't teach the kids not to drop litter in fact it teaches them if you drop it some other sap will pick it up, it has been endemic and getting worse as council budgets tighten and services reduce.
I spoke to the cleansing workers for a needle uplift they used to have 2 bulk uplift vans for the city centre with 3 staff, now it's 1 van and 2 staff for the same coverage.
That being said a volunteer group blitzing 1 area makes a great difference; there was a fellow bagging litter on Suachiehall St. during the bin strikes. A little goes a long way.
Social Inclusion, there as still a lot of folk suffering post lockdown many organisations that provided this pre-lockdown shut down.
Food Pantries, read the Glasgow forum over the past few months more and more posts are seeking this kind of help. There are many in and around Glasgow that do a great job, either supporting them or starting one up in an area that doesn't have one. |
