'She’s lucky she didn’t break her ankle or hit her head'
Linda Mooney suffered an agonising tumble on the deeply rutted surface at Craigton Cemetery near Cardonald and had to be rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Govan for emergency treatment.
Mr Mooney said: “It’s an absolute disgrace that the place has been allowed to get into such an awful state. Linda was left shaken, badly injured and bruised after tripping and falling in this massive pothole. She’s lucky she didn’t break her ankle or hit her head. It could have been so much worse, but she was still left in complete agony for weeks afterwards.to justify leaving the place to fall into such a poor state.
“I won't feel safe walking through there again until I know that all of the potholes have been properly repaired.” The 66-year-old claims that despite raising the issue with Glasgow City Council weeks ago, many of the craters remain. “Linda has been left very upset by all of this. There’s clearly an issue with the condition of the infrastructure in Craigton Cemetery that needs to be dealt with right away, not kicked into the long grass until money becomes available."
