ALL eyes of the world will fall on Glasgow in November as the biggest names in politics travel to our city to tackle the climate emergency.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon will greet famous faces, including the likes of President Joe Biden, US special envoy John Kerry, Pope Francis, and even Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger all rumoured to attend, later this year.

However, angry Glaswegians have taken to social media to show why they think the city isn't quite prepared to take centre stage quite yet.

As GMB union's chief Gary Smith says Glasgow "cleansing crisis" is proof the city is not fit to host such an event, we take a look at what the people of Glasgow have to say.

Speaking in her Glasgow Times column, council leader Susan Aitken said: "Our efforts to make the Dear Green Place greener still are now internationally recognised. But as transformed a city as we’ve become, social and environmental issues rooted in the decisions of the past still stand in our way.

"COP isn’t a prize for the city with the greenest credentials. It’s about finding the solutions cities just like ours need to make in the years ahead to improve the wellbeing of our citizens and secure the future of our planet."

Glasgow City Council insists there is no cleansing crisis and it works diligently to ensure all litter issues reported are dealt with as swiftly as possible.

The local authority has previously stated bins are widely available throughout the city and urged members of the public if there is not one in sight, or it is full, to carry their rubbish to the next available stop.

A spokesman said: “Any public bin can fill up quickly if there’s an unexpected surge in demand. We always urge members of the public to report an issue with a public bin so that it can be dealt with promptly.

“Glasgow spends far more on street cleansing than any other local authority both in real terms and spend per head of population.

“We have also been replacing our public litter bins in streets and parks, substantially increasing the bin capacity for people who need to dispose of litter on the move.

“We are currently working on a plan to ensure that Glasgow is in good shape in time for the arrival of delegates for the COP26 conference in November.

“ For Glasgow, COP is about attracting investment, making safer and healthier places to live, creating jobs and providing skills for a new low carbon economy, making our homes more affordable to heat and connecting communities with accessible, green public transport.

“Glasgow is the right host for COP26 precisely because of the challenges we face as a post-industrial city, which are replicated across the world.”
