A FLY-TIPPING dump next to a popular woodland walk is being cleaned up by the council after complaints from residents.
Midlothian Council has started clearing rubbish at the site near Harper's Brae in Penicuik.

The site was formerly used by the council for green waste but in recent years has become a dumping ground for household rubbish, furniture and other refuse after a secure gate was broken.

A Midlothian Council spokeswoman said: "We are taking immediate steps to prevent any further illegal dumping by reinstating the gate."

It's a shame that the residents couldn't be bothered to take the matter into their own hands and do the cleaning up themselves

Why would they? They are the ones doing the fly tipping.
