AN exasperated Whitecrook resident has thanked the Clydebank Post for coming to her rescue after workers left a pile of sand in her disabled parking space for nearly SEVEN weeks.

Evelyn O’Donnell branded fibre cabling company CityFibre's sub-contractors as ‘cheeky’ after they left her unable to park outside her home because of the heap of dirt – with her husband forced to ‘drop her off’ at the house whilst he went looking for a parking space.

The King Street resident relies heavily on walking sticks and specially designed ramps to get in and out of her car in the parking bay and described feeling ‘brushed off’ by the technology firm on the many occasions she asked them to uplift the mound of dirt.

Frustrated Evelyn reached out to the Post for help after getting nowhere with CityFibre and, just hours after we contacted them regarding the heap, it was gone.

Evelyn said: “The sand has been lifted from my disabled parking space now.

“They left a bit of a mess but at least I can park my car.

“Thanks for your intervention.”

The problems started over six weeks ago when workers on behalf of CityFibre began work installing cabling in the area.

“The first day they were here they were dumping sand in all the car park spaces,” Evelyn added.

“So, my husband went out and moved our car from the disabled space, so it wouldn’t get all dirt, and what they did was just dump the sand in the disabled space.”

Before finishing: “My husband drops me off as close to the ramp as I can get because I need to use the ramp because I use a walking stick.

“They shouldn’t have been using someone’s disabled parking space.

“It’s just so darn cheeky.”

A CityFibre spokesperson said: “We expect the highest standards from our build partners, which is why we are very sorry to learn of the concerns raised by a resident in King Street.

“Our local build team has now cleared the area to ensure the street is left as we found it.

“We’d like to thank all residents for their support and patience throughout the build to date, as we futureproof Clydebank’s digital infrastructure for decades to come.”
