Has been reported and reported (over 18-month period) and Counci/Scottish Water seem unable to take responsibility. Very dangerous when it ices over every winter.

  • Absolutely no progress since Scottish Water came out, had a look, put cameras down the mains pipe and went away.

  • Seems impossible to get this remedied. Scottish Water and Glasgow City Council in a face-off, each saying it's the other's responsibility. Sure that will be a comfort when the pavement eventually collapses or someone slips on the omnipresent ice in mid-winter.

  • Picture if you will GCC and Scottish Water staring at each other and both washing their hands of this. No pun intended.

  • In early September, the hole was filled in and the pavement smoothed over. But there is still water coming out - though it is at least now going straight into the gutter. So - sort of repaired, though we shall see what it's like in deep winter.

    Now Sept 2024 and I'd estimate there have been around a dozen visits by GCC or Scottish Water this year alone. The water STILL coming out on to the pavment, making it dangerous. Scottish Water insist it is 'run-off' water (not sewage) so is a matter for Environmental Health at the City Council. Which is where the buck stops. (Pictures taken summer 2024)
