HMP Stirling has become a cause of fury for residents in Forth Park and Vale Grove, near the affluent Bridge of Allan after it upended their lives with "constant screams" coming out from the cells - which are situated not far from their homes. The Daily Record has reported that the construction of the £85million jail caused significant disruption to locals, likened to an "earthquake", due to intense vibrations from earth excavations. Homeowners claim this has resulted in up to £30,000 worth of damage to their properties. Prison's governor Paula Arnold held a crisis meeting at the jail, which also houses young offenders. During the discussion, residents reportedly threatened civil court action to cover urgent repairs to brickwork, potentially affecting up to 20 homes. Ms Arnold was also met with demands to immediately move prisoners living in blocks next to residential homes. Morris Anderson, a 67 year old resident, said: "There is shouting and screaming on a daily basis and I can actually hear loud conversations between prisoners from my garden. "There has been one woman in recent weeks who has been wailing and screaming in a distressing way and I really don't think she should be in a jail because there has got to be mental health issues affecting her behaviour. I can hardly believe that they could house prisoners so close to homes, with windows open all day and night and people screaming at each other." Morris shared his unsettling experience of being shouted at by an inmate while walking his dog. He said: "I looked to my right and could actually see the woman looking at me. She shouted 'all right big yin, what you up to? I){kind=link}
