'Things like sofas are constantly being set on fire and that is coming over and we can’t open a window because of the smoke.'
Andrew Marshall's garden backs onto Cowlairs Road in Springburn where couches and other household items are frequently dumped and set on fire.He said:"I have owned my flat here for 18 years now and this site has always been a problem, the whole time.
“Previously, there was a business operating from across the road, a motorbike training centre and that led to normal footfall.“So, obviously, it has less visibility."The 45-year-old added: “It’s right beside us, we share a fence with it. Things like sofas are constantly being set on fire and that is coming over and we can’t open a window because of the smoke.
He said: “I think people are travelling here. They are aware of a blind spot, effectively, and are clearly doing this because they don’t have a license to get rid of waste properly.“It’s certainly not unique to this area but I wouldn’t comment on what it’s like in other parts of the city.
