A GARVOCK woman was shocked after she found a bathroom dumped at a West Fife beauty spot. 

Jacqueline Yates was driving by the entrance to Loch Glow near Kelty last Wednesday when she saw the rubbish blighting the area, which is looked after by Forestry Commission Scotland. 

But it’s not the first time she’s found items dumped there. 

She told the Press: “I could not believe it – I was driving past Loch Glow at the time and had to take a picture of what I saw. 

“The absolute cheek of dumping rubbish right underneath the sign for such a beautiful place.

“I think it’s disgusting. 

“It’s not the first time I’ve seen rubbish dumped there too. The last time it was worse as there were about five or six sheets of asbestos. I recognised them instantly as my garage was roofed with the same sheets. 

“I think it’s an ongoing problem.

“If the people who have done it have come from Dunfermline then that makes it even worse because they’ve had to drive past the dump to get there.”

A Forest Enterprise Scotland spokesman said: “We were first alerted to this fly-tipping on the Wednesday and we’ve alerted the authorities and it should hopefully be moved today or at the start of the week at the latest.

"Woodland Wardens patrol the area regularly and whenever we find this illegal tipping we get it removed as soon as possible. Luckily, the area is not prone to large amounts of fly-tipping, but we do get around a dozen or so occurrences each year.

"We work in partnership with Zero Waste Scotland and Fife Council to tackle the issue.

“Illegal dumping is a big frustration for us all – it is a blight on the environment and takes up valuable resources and our staff time which could be better spent on more positive work to benefit our communities.”
