Chopped up cars have been dumped on the side of a street in Glasgow’s Govanhill with flytippers even brazenly leaving a number plate attached in full view.
The pieces of broken vehicles appeared in Bankhall Street yesterday much to the concern of residents and local councillor Soryia Siddique.
The random motor parts were left next to bins and images seemed to show vehicle parts stuffed into a grey metallic bin.
The rubbish was reported to the southside councillor who conducted a site visit this morning to survey the mess and contacted the council about the issue.

Describing Govanhill as a “vibrant area”, Councillor Siddique said: “Residents in Govanhill are really fed up with continuous fly tipping. We need robust action.
“It is not just about cleaning – it is also about catching people who think this is acceptable. Residents need a clean, green area.”
The Labour local politician added: “Flytipping is not acceptable anywhere and it is definitely not acceptable in Govanhill.”
The area has been plagued with recurring problems with flytipping – with lanes and back courts targeted.

There have been concerns expressed previously that people were travelling to the area to dump waste.
Mattresses, furniture and black bags full of rubbish are among the assortment of waste left to be picked up.
In December last year, a man received a £3,277 civil penalty after the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) were contacted by Glasgow City Council following a report of fly tipping in Kingarth Lane in the Govanhill area in July 2023.
The council has recently expanded its clean up teams with the creation of 200 new posts in street cleansing and parks operations.
A Glasgow City Council spokesman said: “We are aware of this issue and it will be dealt with appropriately.”
