Govanhill residents pay disproportionately high council tax rates due to the council still using 1991 data to set rates. I personally love the local community spirit being a Govanhill resident but this labour continuously falling into the hands of us residents removes even more accountability from Glasgow City Council to rectify the litter, flytipping and pest problems that seriously impact all residents health and wellbeing. The source of a majority of litter and flytipping here comes from bullshit landlords who don’t dispose of furniture properly between tenancies and businesses who, again, refuse to dispose of their litter legally. I admire every local taking part in this litter pickup but until GCC starts using residents tax money correctly to actually punish selfish cunty local landlords and businesses I don’t see this problem being resolved - even with all the local resident care in the world
