An Edinburgh business owner has hit out at the council after a 'dirty' bench appeared outside her premises overnight.
Tracey Griffen, who lives near Griffen Fitness on Balfour Street, was woken up by workmen installing the bench just before midnight on Monday and discovered it when she woke up in the morning.
She said: "It has blocked my business and it is not like it is easy running a business in Leith anyway - normally I am a very positive person but this is just, I just don't know."
