'They always say you are never more than two feet away from a rat.'

Angry residents have said their kids are too scared to use the local playground because it is 'overrun by rats'.

Chris Mitchell, GMB cleansing convenor, said: “I think the residents have got a right to raise it as a public health issue particularly if kids are digging up the sand and finding rat urine in the playground. Frances Stojilkovic, a local resident who is also a GMB member, said: “This is obviously a public health issue we are dealing with.

Councillor Siddique said: “The local community has been raising this for a while now. I have raised their concerns with Glasgow City Council and the Director of Public Health Glasgow and Clyde.
