Summary
An 80-year-old woman in Dalkeith is trapped in her own home as youths turn her stairwell into a dumping ground and toilet, forcing her to navigate unsanitary chaos daily.

As local officials label the town the “wild west,” Midlothian Council is preparing to evict tenants whose kids cause trouble, teaming up with Police Scotland to crack down — but for Penny Wilson, the damage is already done, and time is running out.
