A close-knit neighbourhood has been embroiled in an uphill battle against troublesome fly-tippers repeatedly dumping piles of rubbish near their homes.
Sarah McCollough, 42, from Toxteth, said two areas of land on Moss Grove and Fern Grove, just off Lodge Lane, have been "blighted" by fly-tipping for months, despite multiple complaints made to Liverpool City Council.
She said: "We love living in this area, the community spirit is great, but this puts a blight on it. It looks horrible, it's a mess and it's embarrassing."
