Paisley residents outraged as mound of concrete slabs dumped across from primary school

Those living in Paisley have been left disgusted after a large quantity of concrete slabs were disposed of near a primary school.

The disgraceful fly-tipping was spotted on Maxwellton Road near St Mary's Primary School on Thursday (June 27).

An image taken of the scene shows the mound pouring onto the pavement and blocking any access for pedestrians. It also appears that a metal fence has been broken during the process of the slabs being dumped.

Fuming local, Ross Clark, said: "It really annoys me when I see this: it shows a real disrespect for our environment.

"I am part of the group of volunteers in Renfrewshire who volunteer to pick litter in our local area, so I'm quite invested in keeping my local area clean.

"Plus it's a hazard for kids walking to school and vehicles passing by."
