Feckless Midlothian fly tippers dump pile of old mattresses over side of bridge

A Midlothian resident has hit out after a pile of mattresses were dumped over the side of a bridge by fly tippers.

The pile of old bedding was discovered by Gorebridge local Gavin May when he was taking the dog out on Tuesday morning and passed under the Shank Bridge on the A7.

A regular spot for Gavin to walk his pooch and cycle, he initially thought the mattresses were pieces of aluminium from the roof of a caravan. But as he got closer it became evident that someone had pulled up on the bridge above and thrown them over the side.
