The mess at the North Muirton site - used as a stop off for Gypsy/Traveller communities - has prompted calls for action
The shell of a destroyed caravan, abandoned toilets, heaps of rubbish and a discarded gas canister is among the waste left scattered around Perth Food and Drink Park on the outskirts of the city. .
“The situation isn’t just the mess, it is the fact that it keeps happening. It is an ongoing issue. It has still not been cleared by the council. It is public funded money used every time to clean it up. A small building with a kitchen, an office, water supply, an electrical charging point for each pitch and bins will also be provided. Councils have a legal duty to support the Gypsy/Traveller lifestyle and it is hoped managing the site will allow PKC more power to move people on faster.
“This is not just a Perth and Kinross problem but a national problem. It is worth noting that I have been chasing this up for a while and the area is going to be cleaned up this weekend. I chase up this problem every time they are at the food and drink park.” Top news stories today “If he had then I would have reported the issues without delay and we might have cleared the site sooner. The site will be cleared this weekend.
