Council chairmen respond to ‘embarrassing’ allegation

Amid ongoing anger over the state of one of the city's most famous thoroughfares, Glasgow City Council leaders have said their staff are working “seven days a week” to clean the streets “both by hand and with sweepers”.

The council vigorously defended the lengthy redevelopment works on Sauchiehall Street, which caused significant disruption to traders and pedestrians and generally impacted on the public realm in the area.

This came in the wake of sharp criticism from Gillian Stewart, chair of the British Council for Offices in Scotland and director of Michael Laird Architects, who expressed her concerns about the health of Sauchiehall Street and the general safety of the city centre in an exclusive report in the Herald on Saturday.
