Free Midlothian uplifts offered to cut down on bonfires
Midlothian Council is once again offering free uplift of combustible materials, in a bid to cut down the number of fires started deliberately in the run up to Bonfire Night.
The initiative, jointly promoted by Midlothian Council, Midlothian Community Safety and Justice Partnership, Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, will run from October 26-31, local Covid lockdown restrictions permitting, with collections being carried out by the Unpaid Work Team.
It will cover Dalkeith and Woodburn on October 26 and 27, Mayfield and Easthouses on October 28 and 29, and Gorebridge on October 30 and 31.
To report or book items for uplift, call 0131 561 5284.
