Being right next to the airport, the fact that the travellers have set up camp here is a concern given the mess that was left last time there was an occupation at this site. Rubbish blowing across the airport runway has been a real worry on previous occasions.
Airport management is aware of the situation and anxious to see a swift resolution. I have been in touch (as has airport management) with the former Scottish Water site management company (DTZ) asking that legal steps are being taken to get the matter swiftly resolved and they have confirmed this is the case. I have also been in touch with City Council officers about the situation.
I have asked the council officer who liaises with the travelling community to emphasise the availability of a properly serviced site for the travelling community at Balmuir Wood near Tealing. The council provides this site for the travelling community so there is no excuse for this sort of occupation of privately owned ground.
