The owner of private land blighted by flytippers has been served notice to clear it by Bradford Council.

Residents have been left angered at mounting levels of rubbish being dumped by their homes behind Chislehurst Place and Pennington Terrace, Little Horton, Bradford.

And they fear no-one is taking responsibilty to deal with it.

Ian Thompson, of Chislehurst Place, said: Its absolutely disgusting out there.

I open my curtains and thats the first and only thing I see. At the moment, it is the worst its ever been.

The Council used to clear up the area every few months, but I spoke to them recently and they said they dont know who owns the land and theyve no intention of clearing it.

Mr Thompson said an increasing amount of old furniture and white goods had been dumped at the site in recent months, which he feels now poses a health and safety hazard.

Someone obviously had new windows fitted a few weeks ago and theyve just dumped all the old stuff here, he said. Since then everyone else has been dumping their rubbish too. It gets worse every day.
