The response from the council is utterly unbelievable. It's like we are doing a great job - and we will produce a piece of paper to prove it! There is an area on Baillieston Road, a few yards from the Culzean Drive junction with a blocked drain, which sits above a stream a few yards away.

Following heavy rainfall, flooding regularly extends across the entire road. This has been an issue for the past forty years. No doubt there is a piece of paper lying somewhere stating that this drain is cleared every few months? Never happened!

Pinocchio appears to be working at GCC. Our Community Council has been asking about gulley cleaning and deep cleaning for several years now and have been told it will be done. We have a pond on Argyle Street at Kelvingrove Street every time it rains and have been told to ask for "special" funding to fix it. This Council needs to get its services sorted out. A Council Tax strike would not be a good thing for the city, but why should people pay for non existent services? The situation would be called a "scam" if it took place in the private sector...
