Errol residents are fed up with a number of antisocial attacks on property ranging from a car tyre being slashed to eggs hurled at windows.
One woman was horrified to note her parents had to buy a new tyre after their car was targeted outside her house when they paid her a visit, their first trip to Errol since September.
Another woman asked neighbours if they had suffered the same experience as she had done with eggs being chucked at their windows.
“Has anyone else had problems with their windows being egged recently?” a post on the Errol Village Facebook page asked on Tuesday.
Several people replied that a car had been seen driving around on Monday night, with the occupants hurling eggs at the windows of houses they passed.
Angus Forbes, Conservative councillor for Carse of Gowrie, told the PA he had heard about the antisocial behaviour that has been bothering residents.
“I was aware of this issue and I do really feel for the people that have been affected by it,” Cllr Forbes said.
“I am presuming that it’s just bored youngsters with little else to do rather than some targeted malicious attack.
“As vandalism, it probably is a police matter although we know their resources are already stretched so I would imagine they won’t be able to do much about it.
“I hope that parents speak to their children about this sort of activity and let them understand how stressful it is for people on the receiving end of their behaviour.”
A car tyre was also deliberately slashed in Errol at the weekend.
It appears to have happened overnight on Saturday.
On Sunday, May 23 a resident shared her frustration on local social media: “Normally I don’t post on Facebook but feel the need to this morning.
“My parents are visiting - I have not seen them since September - and their car tyre has been slashed.
“I am not impressed folks, it’s not right, it’s not fair to my parents.”
The complainer later gave an update: “So my parents are down £104 for a new tyre.
“I do hope the anger and or alcohol has worn off enough for the person who slashed the tyre to feel some remorse...perhaps guilty enough to pop money through my letterbox?”
The exchanges on the Errol Village page led to a number of current and former residents noting how much they felt the community had changed for the worse.
