A REDUCTION in the number of street cleaners being employed across Glasgow has left the city “in crisis”, it has been warned. Figures revealed the number of street cleaners recruited by Glasgow City Council reduced from 470.55 full time equivalent street scene staff , in grades one to two, in 2016/17 to 415.05 in 2019/20. While similar data shows 398.2 full time equivalent hours from parks and facilities employees, in grades one to four, in 2016/17 but, only 349.26 in 2019/20. Councillor Paul Carey said: “This administration is asking the people of Glasgow to do the cleaning job, but it is quite clear that over the last four years it has reduced the cleansing operatives and drivers along with a reduction in the operatives that look after our parks.
GLASGOW households may be forced to ditch additional green wheelie bins, a council officer has warned. Speaking at the environment, sustainability and carbon reduction city policy committee earlier this week, Glasgow City Council’s Sharon McKechnie insisted the local authority may need to make the “tough decision” to help recycling efforts. The warning comes after staff were quizzed about the effectiveness of the controversial three-weekly bin collection, which is due to be rolled out to main door properties across the north west of the city from February 22. Labour’s Councillor Paul Carey insisted homes in the city’s north east, which have been living with the reduced refuse collections since the pilot launched in October, had been purchasing additional green bins to combat excess waste.
