A fresh call has been made for residents and businesses to help tidy up their neighbourhood.

Merchant City and Trongate Community Council (MCTCC) is encouraging volunteers to take part in its next litter pick on Saturday, March 7.

The event, running from 10.30am to 12.30pm, will begin outside Ramshorn Church on Ingram Street, with a short health and safety briefing at the start.

All necessary equipment will be provided for volunteers on the day.


“It’s time for another spring clean.

"We’re urging local people and businesses to play their part and spend an hour or two on March 7 helping make a difference to the way the centre looks for residents and visitors.”

MCTCC organises several clean-up events throughout the year and plans to increase the number.

More information on the litter pick is available by emailing secretary@mctcc.scot or visiting mctcc.scot.
