“I was disappointed at what confronted me. The council are constantly cleaning the area but it appears to be a losing battle'
A veteran councillor has expressed the ‘despair’ he and residents feel after being confronted by repeat fly-tipping.
The authority’s leader and local Bank Hall ward councillor Afrasiab Anwar has joined Cllr Birtwistle in condemning the ‘unacceptable anti-social behaviour’. Cllr Birtwistle said: “I was asked by a local resident of Cleaver Street if I could call and experience the mess and accompanying smell of rubbish rotting in the back street of Ribblesdale Street and Bar Street.
“One elderly resident near Cleaver Street said she had lived there for 40 years and said it used to be a lovely place but said she was now in despair at the repeated dumping of rubbish in the back alley “It’s unacceptable anti-social behaviour on the part of a minority that make life miserable for everyone. The council takes a strong approach towards anyone caught fly tipping or littering.
