A brazen fly-tipper dumped at least a dozen mattresses by the roadside on a route between Dunblane and Bridge of Allan, sparking a council investigation.
Residents reported seeing the mattresses – suspected to come from a care facility – on either side of the road in Glen Road.The eyesore was then reported to Stirling Council who investigated, but have so far been unable to trace culprits.One resident contacted the Observer this week to raise the issue, saying that the piles of mattresses appeared to be the same as the type commonly found in hospitals and care homes.They added: “They’re blue mattresses and some of the even have the bedsheet still on them.“There’s no way of knowing where they came from.
Someone could have paid to have them disposed of and they have just been dumped, without the person even knowing.”A Stirling Council spokesperson told the Observer: “Fly-tipping is a crime against the environment and our communities, perpetrated in secrecy and generally only reported retrospectively.“An investigation into the mattresses left on Glen Road was carried out after this was reported to us.“Offenders are notoriously difficult to catch and not all instances provide evidence to identify the person responsible, and unfortunately on this occasion there was little evidence to be found and it was unclear where the tipping had come from.“While we do our very best to keep the Stirling Council area clean and tidy, we need all residents and visitors to have pride in the area and take responsibility for their litter.”Click here for more news and sport from the Stirling area.Anyone found to be fly-tipping rubbish faces being fined from £200 up to £40,000 and could even face up to six months in prison.
