ELECTRIC lights are being left on inside the old Dalkeith High School building — to protect vandals and intruders from hurting themselves.
The astonishing revelation that the lights are left burning for the vandals’ benefit rather than the building’s, came after former Conservative MSP candidate for Midlothian, P J Lewis, said he had been “appalled” to see the lights left on — years after the school’s closure — while he was out inspecting the site with local residents.
The council revealed:
“Some lights — including some on timers — are left on during the winter months to protect potential intruders from fall hazards.
“Midlothian Council as owners of the property have an obligation to do this under duty of care.”
