Disgust as human excrement is dumped in close
A GRANNY was disgusted to find someone had defecated in her Main Street close at the foot of the stairs.
Elizabeth Williamson, aged 51, was shocked to discover the stinking mess and a swarm of flies on Sunday morning, in the close between her stairs and McKellar’s shop.
Ms Williamson said: ‘My two-year-old grandson knows better than to do his toilet on the stairs.
‘The residents think it must have happened between 7pm and 10pm on Saturday evening.
‘I ruined a mop and used a large amount of disinfectant cleaning it up but cannot completely get rid of the smell.
‘Most dog owners now clean up behind their pets so whoever did this should have cleaned it up.’
Mrs Williamson said that she had reported it to Campbeltown police office and asked if it would be possible to look at the Main Street closed circuit television (CCTV) images for Saturday evening in an attempt to track down the culprit.
A police spokesperson claimed on Tuesday that no-one had reported the incident and said that it had not been logged.
Disgusting
Another resident Jake Sanders said: ‘I think it is absolutely disgusting. This alongside the urinating every weekend is too much and we are not employed to clean up after fools at the weekend and should not have to.
‘We are in the process of getting CCTV in the close and new locks in the gate and will pass film of all future offenders to the police.’
Ms Williamson added: ‘At that time on a Saturday evening there are many places the person could have used toilets such as Whisky Macs or the Royal.
‘I clean toilets in Bolgam Street, Victoria Hall and by the play park and I have never come across anything like this.
‘Whoever did this has no respect for where people live.’
