Glasgow canal could become hotbed for flytipping and dereliction

Ms Topley said future projects of that scale would be “extremely challenging” because they “take many years to deliver and that's a very difficult thing to do when you are working on yearly budgeting."

This would provide significant rental income and repay the planned £1.3m investment within a few years.She added:"We need to find a way to operate that allows us to retain our income to grow it, because one-year spending results in one-year thinking."The canal is a community asset - it instigates business, housing and community projects, and mental and physical health, which is really important.

She added:"There's a real risk, without proper investment and utilisation of the canals, that it becomes this space again that isn't a value to the community, and very quickly it becomes a health risk as opposed to a benefit. A Transport Scotland spokesperson told SWNS: “We fully recognise the benefits which canals offer and we are committed to supporting Scottish Canals to continue to deliver these.

The problem is worse then first thought, it appears someone has dumped 2 giant gas holders in the canal.

What a pathetically miserable headline.
