The shell of a destroyed caravan, abandoned toilets, heaps of rubbish and a discarded gas canister is among the waste left scattered around Perth Food and Drink Park on the outskirts of the city. The mess at the North Muirton site - used as a stop off for Gypsy/Traveller communities - has prompted calls for action.
Local resident Gordon Muir came across the scene on his walk home from work this week and says rubbish dumped at the site is an ongoing problem.
Speaking to our sister title the Perthshire Advertiser, he said: “There is a caravan full of rubbish there and there was one left abandoned here previously. There are gas canisters, fishing rods – you just can’t believe it.
