Young school children fight against a fly-tip 'Monstrosity' next to their school in Glasgow, where parents are afraid to let children play in a 'dangerous off-leaf'.
Pupils from Riverbank Primary School have set up their own petition to draw attention to the 'obscene' dumping problem in which people have thrown away soups of clothing, dirty mattresses, dangerous materials, discarded drug parafernalia, gas buses, bottles of urine and sharp shards of glass'.
Fatima Alashinloye, 11, developed the school project to clean up the waste after seeing the 'dangerous' and 'terrible' mess she and her classmates are forced to be nearby.
She said that her friends who live next to the school, rats, papers, gas bottles, mattresses, sheets and bottles of urine 'see every morning.
After he took pictures of the 'disgusting' mess on her iPad, Fatima went to her class and spoke about what they can do to arrange the 'Wangdrocht'.
“It's not just a thorn in the eye, but a real health danger,” said their petition.
“How can we hope to concentrate on our education and to play if we seem to be in an epicenter of a waste crisis?”
Tired of the 'intimidating environment that has been imposed on us', the students hope that their petition 'this' department 'will transform into a cleaner, more community and environmentally friendly space'.

Leanne Smith said that her granddaughter was in P3, the other week found a dead cat under the 'mess'.
“Children like to come out and run and his children,” she said.
Mrs. Smith's mother -in -law lives on the other side of the road and had a Burst tank last month because the rats thrive on the 'off -leaf' and have 'flooded'. The area had chewed through her legs.
“It's a mess, an absolute mess and it's dangerous,” she said, “you don't know what else is there.”

City Legacy said they “worked with the Glasgow city council and other stakeholders to tackle this issue.”
They also promised 'exciting plans for further private and affordable homes on the site'.

“At the time, they promised everything, sturgeon, the councilors, they promised all kinds of stores.
“We don't have a store. We don't have a post office. They removed the post office where the postbox is now, and the shops, the chicken run, the butchers went. There is nothing. '
Mr. Johnston had seen people with trucks full of waste driving to the Green and 'just dumping on the sidewalk or a little reserve soil'.
By the time he reported it, they drove away.

They added: “The students of Riverbank Primary are passionate about the environment and we are proud that they take action to improve their local community.”
Although originally from Bridgeton, Mrs. Hall has been living on the other side of Riverbank and said that she saw the decline of the council support since the Commonwealth Games in 2014.
“They don't make any trouble about the area anymore,” she said, that's why they had it “run”.
