Chelsea McIlwaine is fuming after squirrels and birds tore through exposed rubbish bags, leaving a huge mess behind. She is calling on the council to collect the bins urgently.
A mum is calling on Glasgow City Council to take urgent action after overflowing bins have blighted her neighbourhood, which has led to an increase in squirrels raiding rubbish bags.
Chelsea, 29, who lives with her partner and children, aged six and eight, said: "We are still waiting for someone to empty them. It’s been a recurring issue."Our children love the outdoors but we physically can’t let them out the back, it's that bad. The squirrels and birds are pulling everything out of the bins and it’s all over the grass.
Chelsea says pest control have been coming out weekly which has put an end to the problem with rats but the squirrels remain glued to the bins. "My partner has bad mental health and can’t do mess, he gets so anxious about it. My son has additional needs so if he sees something in the bin that he wants, he will try and pull it out.Council workers were spotted in the area today .
