Dump blamed for infestation of flies cleared

An illegal dump blamed for a massive fly infestation has been cleared of all waste.

More than 1,500 tonnes of chemicals and mixed waste were found at the former Netherplace Dye Works near Newton Mearns in April.

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) worked with East Renfrewshire Council on the clear-up. Sepa now says work at the site has been safely completed.
