The following pictures clearly illustrate the unwise decision of Land Services to position a Bottle Bank outside Dumbreck Railway Station on Dumbreck Road. Dumbreck Community Council objected to this position for the Bottle Bank over a year ago.
On Sunday 4th January the Bottle Bank was seen to be overflowing with bottles lying on the pavement. Your Community Council contacted Mr Robert Booth, head of Road Services, by fax 
the same day asking that the Bottle Bank be cleared as a matter of urgency. After some reminding, at about midday on Thursday 8th January the Bottle Bank was emptied. However the bottles on the pavement were left uncollected and at 13.45 were still lying on the pavement next to the empty Bottle Bank.
This is not the first time Land Services have failed to empty the Bottle Bank in a timely manner. Dumbreck Community Council have expressed fear for the safety of motorists on Nithsdale Road, the M77 motorway and passengers at the Railway Station should the bottles be used as missiles. If no reassurances are forthcoming the Community Council will again request the Bottle Bank be moved to another site in the District.
The event will start in Bellahouston Park at 10.00am and will leave the park onto Bellahouston Drive, Mosspark Boulevard, Dumbreck Road, Pollok Park, Haggs Road, Dumbreck Road and back into Bellahouston Park to the finish.
