Many dog owners still let their pets foul in street

YOUR reader this week wrote about the new litter/dog waste bins. I live in Penilee and the council could put 10 of those 900 bins in my street and repulsive dog owners would still let their dogs relieve freely and stroll on.

I’ve been blighted by this for years and have done all the usual stuff like confrontation and contacting the council.

During this time when hygiene is at the forefront, we’re still getting this kind of filth.

Some lazy owners send wee kids or young teenagers out walkies. As if they’re gonna pick up!

Can’t imagine what my pavement is going to look like when I emerge from my 12-week isolation.

I AM old enough (88) to have lived through the First World War and coping with the present crisis, I am lucky to have a family who are doing everything they can to support me in my isolation.

I also have five phone numbers of neighbours who are on hand and another two neighbours also offer help.

It is true that adversity brings out the best in people.

I would ask the people who have selfishly emptied the food shops to either share with elderly neighbours who were not able to get to the shops or hang your head in shame.

REGARDLESS of political viewpoint, Nicola Sturgeon is giving exemplary leadership in this current crisis.

Listening to the Holyrood question time this week, there is no doubt that, in this crucial time, we have the right person in charge to guide our country through this unprecedented crisis.

I HEARD on the television that the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were heading now to Windsor until after Easter where many of the royals will eventually be joining them.

Considering the very grave state the nation is in at this moment with the coronavirus situation, I was really very disappointed that under these circumstances the Queen could not have televised a message to the public which would have meant a lot to many people, I really don’t think that is asking to much.

WITH regards the change in bin collection frequency, people need to understand the reasons why this is happening.

The council is having to make huge cuts to services.

The coronavirus outbreak won’t help matters either.

People need to pull together here and realise the urgency of which they must separate and recycle their waste.

Not just for the benefit of the council, but for the environment and the climate as a whole.

IF anyone at the roads department is bored over the next 12 weeks can they perhaps prioritise a couple of craters on Keppochhill Road where you turn on to Springburn Road.

I’m sure many drivers will have suffered punctures due to the size of these potholes.
