I totally agree with the introduction of the environmental action teams introduced by Glasgow City Council but when are we going to see tangible results? Streets and pavements are still covered in weeds, the approach roads at Townhead are like a jungle and the grass cutting of public spaces always seems to happen after a downpour with the resulting cuttings strewn all over the place. Let's have a real environmental clean up that we can all be proud of.

Re Coia's Cafe: This owner is a chancer trying to get away with ignoring his neighbours concerns and just doing what he likes. The back court is looking like a tip.
Good luck getting this lady a correct result for her. I think the Cafe owners could have lots of things to answer for from the council and number one should be that the building could now be unsafe not only for the residents but for anyone walking by the building.

Glasgow's city centre used to have a lot to offer but now it is looking tired and worn out. Even areas like Finnieston, which are supposed to be 'up and coming' look terrible - pavements full of cracks, bins right outside restaurants, potholes all over the roads. People are sitting enjoying a coffee in the very occasional sunny weather with stinking bins and rubbish wafting in their faces, seagulls flying about and cigarette butts all over the floor. Never mind tables and chairs which are wobbling about due to the wonky pavements. What kind of advert is that for the city? Something needs to be done to change this or some parts of Glasgow will become totally abandoned. The revival some areas are getting will soon disappear if the public space doesn't change. We should be proud of our city, and the people who come to visit should want to come back. If I visited some parts of the city centre, for example Sauchiehall Street, I would probably never come back.

Give me peace. People spend too much time gazing into handsets as it is, never mind express lanes for people playing Pokemon Go.The number of times people have walked into me and then still continue looking at their handsets without an apology is amazing. Is it so important that they become so ignorant to their fellow citizens ? I understand the point of this is to segregate, zone, separate, discriminate the deadheads but at everybody's expense.
