Broken wine glasses and a table have been left in a field by the canal in Stonehouse.

The mess on the old Ship Inn site off Bristol Road was spotted by Rachel Collins when she was walking her dog by the canal

"I’m guessing maybe there was a get together or celebration or something as there were empty Ikea glass boxes down by the bush," she said.

"But who would just leave this like that! It's dangerous and doesn’t look very nice."

She continued: "I’ve reported it to the council and hopefully it’s being cleared up.

"I’m not sure if a group of people climbed over and had some sort of drinks, but was very odd as it couldn’t have been young ones as there were wine glasses and lots of them!"

A Stroud District Council spokesperson said: “It is disappointing that trespassers have left smashed glasses and rubbish behind them.

"We would very much like to thank the member of the public who reported this to us so quickly. This has now been cleared up at the council’s expense.”
