the cross although much better than it did look like last night is still needing a clean up. there is still a lot of glass from broken bottles and various other rubbish lying on pavements, gutters etc. bus stops, businesses targeted with spray paint and various celtc stickers. the mercait tower is now boarded up but again covered in stickers including an almost full size ange balls.
the traffic lights are now working but the road needs a good wash from all the booze spilt on it. lets put it this way, if it was a carpet it would be sticky
how much has that cost the businesses in the area from haivng to shut? cost of cleaning up removing all the graffiti by them and the council. how much to clean up properly? to repair the damage? whats the unseen cost for residents seeing that, not being able to leave their houses? seeing folk pish and shit courtyatrds, lanes, in closes? the diversions for buses, taxis, cars? the diversions for ambulances? that is the main route to and from the royal infirmary? in cases where every seconds count, did anyone die because of it?
bet they ( police/council) will come out with lessons learned shite and brush it under the carpet again. then next week after they probably win the cup, it will happen all over again.
they should be kept in the east end round their stadium not allowed to take over glasgow cross for hours on end.
