Cumbernauld resident left 'sad and annoyed' as fly-tipping leaves area in a state

A man living in Cumbernauld has been left upset by the state of a road in the North Lanarkshire town as unwanted goods continues to be dumped in the area.

Stewart has noticed the amount of abandoned waste on Pine Road increase over the last week, with some of it even being set alight.

The local resident took to social media to voice his concerns.

He wrote: "Looking for somewhere to take the kids on a sunny day.

"What about the ever increasing work of art on Pine road now also being piled up against the fence.

"It's already been set alight once . Still not cleared by the council . It's only a matter of time before some idiot sets light to it then the fence."

Stewart now worries that the problem could get worse if the area isn't cleared by North Lanarkshire Council as soon as possible.

Stewart says the area has been a mess for nearly a week (supplied)

He told Glasgow Live: "It makes me feel sad and annoyed, it's been there at least a week.

"It's not a problem we have had before it's usually an area that residents and the council keep tidy but it only takes one person to dump and the council to ignore it."

North Lanarkshire Council have been contacted for comment.
