The new owner of a 'disgusting' building in Lenton with rubbish piled in the garden has assured residents it will be cleared within weeks. The property, situated on the corner of Lenton Boulevard and Derby Road, is littered with items such as chairs, drawers, carpets and sinks.
It is thought to have been derelict for the last 10 to 15 years, with residents describing the waste as an "eyesore" and saying they had experienced problems with rats as a result. Nottingham City Council previously said it had taken enforcement action.
However, its new owner, Michael Cao, said the rubbish would disappear within "two or three weeks". Speaking to Nottinghamshire Live, the 34-year-old, who runs the Viet 80s restaurant near Nottingham Castle, said he had already filled three lorries with the rubbish.
