“It really is time for us all to show our streets and neighbours the respect they deserve and take pride in where we live, work and play, for all of our sakes.” “South Lanarkshire is a fantastic and unique mix of urban and rural. As a place to live, work and visit, it offers so much. Yet, there are a stubborn few who have no qualms about treating our communities like glorified waste bins. We need to come together as one and say enough is enough.”
