Dog walkers have been given the go-ahead to let their pooches in a burn after it was contaminated by sewage.
The water at Capelrig Burn which runs through the popular Rouken Glen Park was 'polluted' by a third party, leaving it giving off a 'putrid smell'. East Renfrewshire Council had urged the public to stay clear until it was cleared up.
Scottish Water confirmed that the smell was due to a sewer blockage that was caused by 'suspected vandalism'. Sewage was discharged into the burn leaving it out of bounds for the public.
