Duntocher man hits out at West Dunbartonshire Council over 'dangerous' road

Conail McBrearty raised concerns over the overgrown foliage and lack of space on Milton Douglas Road, which he says has been an ongoing issue for years.

He believes the path is a safety issue as it is being blocked by bins and vegetation, making it difficult for two people to pass at once.

He told the Post: "The path is very narrow and there is only one side of the road you can walk on. It is an accident waiting to happen.

"Over the last two years, there have been black bins on the path 24/7 and if you walk along it you have to actually walk on the road to get past them.

"It's a safety issue because two people can't pass each other when they are trying to social distance.

"If there is a bin on it, it takes over more than half the path. It isn't tidy either because the lids are lying open for gulls to make a mess of. When it's windy they also get blown around."

Conail is concerned the liquid poses a safety risk

Conail previously told how a flooded drain repeatedly left sewage and toilet toilet paper strewn all over the street outside his home, as reported by the Post.

He now claims sewage is coming through a wall on Milton Douglas Road.

He added: "I reported that there was sewage coming through the wall over two years ago, and Scottish Water have said it's water not sewage.

"During the winter it freezes up and the path is very slippery, people won't step on the path because it looks like it is sewage.

"When I look at it, it does not look like surface water to me, and I would like to see some kind of analysis been undertaken on this fluid."

A Scottish Water spokesperson said: “Now that we are aware of this issue, we are arranging for one of our operatives to attend the address as soon as possible."

A spokesperson for West Dunbartonshire Council added: “We are aware of bins being stored by residents at this location and are working to identify an alternative solution.”
