The landfill's been shut down since 2013. Smell and flies used to be a real problem but not for years now. Was so bad at one point Pizza Hut at Kingsgate had to close due to the flies. Can't say I notice any smell at all from the place these days and I drive Cairnmuir Rd daily.
Still a bloody stupid place to build a house when you've enough money to build a mansion anywhere you like really. He was already worth tens of millions (if not already 100+ million) when he was staying in a nice but modest looking (all things considered) house on Brownside Rd. Quite why he felt he needed to go from that to the monster house he's in now is anyone's guess. |
