A West Lothian man says he is terrified he could be caught in a major fire in his own home as a gang of youths wreak havoc in his close.
The building, on Whitedalehead Road in Whitburn, has allegedly become a magnet for drug misuse, antisocial behaviour and wilful fire-raising, with door handles snapped off and the front door "kicked in."
The resident's sister, who does not wish to be named, says she has made several attempts to get her sibling re-located, with the situation having grown so bad that he refuses to let his children visit for their own safety, reports EdinburghLive.
