Edinburgh couple to leave house of 20 years as new bin store to knock '£10k off value'

An Edinburgh couple have been left furious after being 'forced' to leave their home of over two decades due to plans for a new bin store outside.

Chris and Patricia Ramage have hit out at the council after an estate agent told them the value of their Portobello home will instantly drop by £10,000 once the store is installed.

Residents on Joppa Road for 22 years with no initial plans to move, the couple have now said they will be forced to go, claiming the store will bring unwanted noise and smells to their front door.
