Posh homeowners near Glasgow park try to ban children from rolling Easter eggs in case it ’causes distress’
POSH homeowners have been branded "pathetic" after calls were made to ban an Easter egg roll.
It's reported that people living on an upmarket street in Glasgow had voiced concerns over possible "distress" created by the event.
The event, close to the city's Kelvingrove Park, has been going for a decade in the area.
And the reports that kids were left upset at the prospect of not getting to take part.
Now other residents have hit out at the homeowners in Clifton Street who made the calls for the roll to be axed.
One said: "It is beyond pathetic.
"We were shocked to get a letter from the factors this week.
"Our kids along with many of their friends have always gathered on Clifton Street to roll eggs on Easter Sunday.
“It’s a tradition that’s lasted nearly ten years and involves 12 families.
"One resident – who had just moved into the building – asked what happened to the bits of waste eggs left over.
"They were told family dogs with the group ate most of the leftover bits and the rest were polished off by passing dogs, gulls and maybe even a fox or two.
“We thought nothing more of it until this letter from the factors arrived to ask us ‘to not cause distress, nuisance or mess within the area of the property’.
“Do they have nothing else to bother them?"
Factors Taylor & Martin said that they were sorry to hear the letter had caused upset.

And they confirmed that no action would be taken if the egg roll went ahead.
Director Michael Martin, of Taylor & Martin, said: “I’m very sorry to hear that the residents are upset by this letter as that’s the last thing I would have wanted.
"If the egg rolling goes ahead we will not be seeking further action.”
