A number of large piles of wood have appeared on land where a dangerous bonfire was cleared away by Liverpool Council following complaints.
Last week the ECHO reported on concerns from young mum Gold Onwuka after a huge pile of timber, furniture and other waste appeared on land close to her home in Rickman Street, Kirkdale.
Gold was deeply concerned about the potential dangers of the large bonfire - being built ahead of November 5 - with her two-year-old son Royal also living with her. She said a similar bonfire in the same place was built and set alight last year and caused damage to her property and forced her to move her son out of his room to protect him.

After the story was published, the city council said it understood the concerns and would be working with partners to take action. Earlier this week the local authority posted images of a JCB digger being used to clear large sections of the bonfire away.
A tweet from the council said: "Colleagues at Liverpool Street Scene have cleared a huge pile of timber placed close to houses in Kirkdale, following concerns raised by local residents and councillors. It is part of work in the run-up to Bonfire Night to keep communities safe."
But today there were reports of piles of wood still being in place on the land. New photos show that while the majority of the original bonfire mound has been cleared, fresh piles of pallets and other wood have been placed on the patch of land ahead of November 5.
One eyewitness said he saw two men offloading the wood from a trailer onto the patch of land this afternoon.
Liverpool Council said it is monitoring the situation and will continue to clear away other unsupervised bonfires being built around the city.
A council spokesperson said: “We completely appreciate and understand the concerns of the resident. Unsupervised bonfires pose a real danger and we would strongly advise people against building them. Every year we work with our partners to take action where we have been made aware of a bonfire that could pose a risk.”
