Flytipping on the verge outside of a field on an unclassified road, probably the old A6124, which joins the A6106 junction., 6th February

This is a regular dumping ground, with litter strewn along the verges of this little road and other flytipping at gates into the various fields which the A6106 circumnavigates.

Late amount of litter, 9th February
There is a huge amount of litter on both sides and along the length of the Dalkeith bypass, including the roundabouts and slip roads to and from the A720.
I understand a little will happen, but the sheer volume in this countryside road is shocking.

Flooded path, 7th November
This area started as a small puddle, overflow from the pond but has spread over time. Someone has put a plastic brick to step on but this is actually stopping the water from draining into the burn and causing a huge puddle now that is now spreading along the path. It will soon be impossible to pass.

Tv packaging, 18th May
Tv packaging tipped. I saw this 5 days ago while out for a run, but didn’t have my phone on me to report at the time. I noted an address, which was either 30 or 33 Woodburn drive, but the address has since been removed. Presumably they’ve went to the trouble of going back to remove it!
