Lorry gets stuck picking up bins at Travellers camp in Aberdeen - Aberdeenshire

From the Evening Express

A COUNCIL lorry got stuck on grass while picking up rubbish from bins moved on to a Travellers encampment in Aberdeen.

The bins had been placed near a multi-storey block in Seaton, Aberdeen to make it easier for pick-ups of Travellers rubbish.

But, after the bins were moved, the lorry driver was forced to go on to grass next to the Aulton pitches and became stuck.

The vehicle was stranded for more than an hour before workers were able to move it.

As reported in the Evening Express, goalposts have reportedly been vandalised at the pitches and kids’ football matches were cancelled after a large group of Travellers set up camp.

An Aberdeen City Council spokesman said the authority had placed the bins near the multi-storey building. He said the refuse lorry has since been removed.”
