Midlothian locals have hit out after several abandoned caravans within an old leisure centre car park have become an 'eye sore' and a 'risk to the public'.
Several caravans have been left for weeks in the car park of the old Mayfield Leisure Centre, with locals saying one had previously been set on fire and the council have been contacted numerous times to remove them before more damage is done.
The car park on Mayfield Place is a sight for sore eyes as the derelict and smashed up caravans have been left and according to locals, attracted vandals in recent weeks, with broken glass lying beside them and the windows smashed.
