All drains in Chisholm St have been completely blocked for two years (at least). I have tried to request repair directly to Glasgow City Council by phone, by their utterly useless website (where you cannot describe the problem or submit a photo) and via their app. Despite having my contact details I have not been contacted to clarify the issue. Instead I received an email 12/9/23 stating ‘The fault that you reported has now been made safe’. And on trying to lodge a complaint on the council website I received a System Error when submitting it. This council is effectively uncontactable. Re: report 3768-2643-1240-6278 lodged w GCC 4/9/23. Please unblock the drains (and fix your useless website and app)

  • September 2024. Two drains on eastern side of Chisholm Street eventually unblocked. Over a year after reporting the blockage and flooding and lodging two formal complaints and an ombudsman complaint. The two on the western side are still blocked. Slightly better than completely useless service GCC. Well done!

    State changed to: Fixed
