EXCLUSIVE: Scotland's largest local authority has been taken to task over dirty streets and a vermin problem has now reached its own door.

A council source blamed the age and size of the HQ and suggested building work in nearby streets may be a factor. “Visitors to one of Glasgow’s most iconic buildings deserve a café free of vermin but the people of Glasgow also deserve properly-funded public services capable of protecting our city and its communities.”
