Recent balmy days have meant that parks around the city came alive for the first time this year. Always a heartening sight, but sadly, a minority insist on leaving a trail of rubbish in their wake.

Burnt-out BBQs, food wrappers and, worst of all, glass bottles. More often than not these bottles are smashed to smithereens as carefree revellers toss them aside having drained them dry.
Our nearest park has been a scene of devastation since the hot weather. The council (yes you, East Dunbartonshire) appear to have recently cut the grass but, save for a cursory tidy up of the worst rubbish, the vast tract of broken glass has been left exactly where it fell - specifically, around the children’s play park.
