Dear Mr. Smith

I can confirm that the Council holds the information that you are requesting.

The Council is treating your request as a request under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.

The information which you have requested is detailed below:-

The functions previously carried out by Community Services and Glasgow Community Safety Partnership have now transferred to a new organisation Glasgow Community & Safety Services, a company established in October 2006 to prevent crime, tackle antisocial behaviour, and promote community safety in Glasgow. GCSS provides environmental enhancement services to tackle fly-tipping, graffiti, and de-littering. It proactively links the Crime and Grime agendas and seeks to progress integrated solutions. GCSS also issues Fixed Penalty Notices.

For the purposes of the Freedom of Information legislation GCSS is not deemed to be part of Glasgow City Council. I would therefore suggest that you submit your Freedom of Information to GCSS as per the contact details below:-
