Residents in a neighbourhood in Cardiff have voiced their frustration over the piles of rubbish left on the streets as students leave at the end of term. Some residents have called for action to tackle the issue in Cathays, which they claim happens every year.
Last year, Cathays residents slammed the "disgusting" piles of waste left by university students leaving their houses during the moving out period in June 2022. Photos showed the extent of the litter found on streets such as Brithdir Street, Rhygoes Street and Cathays Terrace in the area.
At the time residents called for an intervention to help alleviate the "frustrating" problem and in response the council said it had been working closely with universities to ensure students disposed of their waste correctly.
