We need common sense on cleansing
BOTH the council and the residents are responsible for any problems they say they are having due to rats.
This is because the residents aren’t bagging their household rubbish properly and as a result the rubbish is strewn everywhere. The council cleansing workers have a habit of leaving spillage from bins over the ground when they empty the bins.
These problems are easily resolved with a little common sense – that being, keeping the bin area and streets free of rubbish and any spillage being swept up by the council workers when it happens.
I don’t know if the council still employs cleansing inspectors but this problem wasn’t as bad when they were checking on the work of the cleansing workers.

THE EU’s dictatorial mandarins invoked emergency powers to block Covid vaccine exports from Europe into the UK.
Following an outcry from Britain and Ireland this diktat was dropped. These EU dictators tried to bully AstraZeneca into diverting millions of doses of the Oxford vaccine made in Britain to Europe to make up for the shortfall caused by the firm’s production issues in Belgium. AstraZeneca’s lawyers confirmed that there was no legal basis to enforce this. This action would have deprived Scotland of a million doses of the vaccine. Will Ms Sturgeon immediately condemn these EU dictators? Clark Cross
DOES this Scottish Government have any morals at all?
Former chief medical officer Catherine Calderwood (right) who resigned as a result of her flagrant abuse of the Covid rules by travelling to her holiday home during lockdown has now been appointed clinical director at the Golden Jubilee Hospital. No doubt announced on Saturday in the hope it will pass without comment.
Perhaps the Glasgow Times can get answers to the following questions which may partly enlighten the electorate to how the hierarchy operate:
1. Was there no one else in the NHS who deserved promotion capable of this post?
2. What will Ms Calderwood’s salary be in comparison to her previous package?
3. Did she get the usual golden handshake on her resignation? I believe these questions are relevant to ascertain where the punishment is for breaking the rules.
