Falkirk woodland 'not safe for kids and dogs' as yobs smash bottles on path

An area of woodland in Falkirk has been deemed unsafe for kids and dogs after a number of alcohol bottles were smashed over a pathway.

Locals have taken to social media hitting out at yobs responsible for the mess in Cobblebrae Community Woodland, Bainsford.

It's believed the path had just been cleared of broken glass a few days ago - with another sickening incident happening yesterday afternoon.

Those responsible are thought to be getting the glass bottles from a nearby bottle recycling bank.

The community is now urging people not to leave bottles at the the bins if they are full.

Malcolm Walker, who uses the walkway regularly told Falkirk Live: "We're all getting sick of this happening.

"This walk is used by families and dog walkers, and as it stands, it's currently unsafe for them.

"It's unsafe for anyone actually because someone cold have a fall on the glass.

"The young team are collecting the bottles from a nearby supermarket bottle bank and they clearly are that bored, they think it's fun to do this.

"Parents are needing to have a firm word with their wians and get a grip of what they're up to.

"This walkway is beautiful, especially on a sunny day, so I'd appeal to the riff raff to stay away if they can't treat it with respect.

"And also appear to people not to dum bags of bottles next to bins that are full. Instead go and find one locally that is empty or has space."
