Spending cuts of £12 million predicted for Glasgow’s cleansing service could plunge the city back into the “dark ages” it has been claimed.
Glasgow’s GMB convenor has warned of the impact on services including roads, parks and cleansing that the city council’s projected budget shortfall of £119.4 million could have on residents and workers alike.
There are fears uncleaned streets will drive people out of the city centre which would ultimately “wreck” the economy and have a devastating impact on tourism.
