Edinburgh mum 'depressed to come home' as mouldy food left strewn across stairs

A young Edinburgh mum has hit out at the council after a broken lock on her communal bin store has led to foxes and 'vermin' entering and tearing dozens of bin bags open.

Tyree Bowen, 25, claims that for the whole five years she has been living in Pennywell Gardens, one of the entrances to the building's communal bin store, located on the exterior of the block of flats, has been faulty.

Adding to the issue, Tyree says there is another entrance to the bins within the buildings itself, which she says is a 'design fault' and has led to the smell of rotten food and waste filling the whole stair.
