Here come more litter

We have noticed that local businesses have been dumping food and general waste next to the school ground.  Not only that they were dumping rubbish but also moved their waste bins next to school ground which is evident from the photos below:

Before

I woulg like to take this opportunity to thank Glasgow City Council Environmental Task Force and Public Health for acting quickly.  They didn’t only removed the rubbish but also instructed the businesses to move their bins from beside the school ground and place them next to their businesses.  

After:

As you can see that there are no bins and no rubbish beside the school ground.
