"It's like a slum": Residents blast disgusting fly-tipping in alleyway now "unsafe for their children"

Hyde residents have spoken out about "disgusting" fly-tipping in an alleyway on their street, which they describe as unsafe for their children.

A mum, who asked not to be named, said a gated alleyway near her house on Nelson Street in Hyde has been a target for fly-tipping for several months now. Photos show rubbish bags piled up throughout the alleyway, along with large cardboard boxes, dirty mattresses and old furniture.

The area is also attracting rats, cats and dogs who are urinating, defecating and scavenging through the junk. The fly-tipping has gotten so bad, that it has become impossible for the residents to take their bins out to the alleyway every week.
