Fuming residents have spoken out about the 'nightmare' issue of rats and fly tipping on their road. People living nearby say they have had enough of bins at the top of Cromwell Street in the Arboretum, overflowing with waste, some of which is thought to have been thrown away by restaurants.
It is an issue that has been ongoing for "years" with rats getting into residents homes as a result of the "horrible smell" that comes from the Biffa bins. Residents also say they have seen many people throwing rubbish on the road after they've been drinking.
Lucy Alderton, 23, a student who lives in the area, said: "We've only just moved in and it's not been awful but the smell from the big bins is awful. Where we used to live was a lot worse, it was a mess, but it's not much better here with the bins.
