An appeal has gone out to Stretford residents to ‘stop using fly-by-night men with vans’ to remove their rubbish. Councillors in the Longford ward have made the plea as a result of persistent fly-tipping in an isolated area on Hawthorn Road under the bridge carrying the historic Bridgewater Canal.
A small car park next to Turn Moss playing fields has also been hit by the rogue fly-tippers. When the Local Democracy Reporting Service visited the area with Coun Sarah Haughey and Judith Lloyd a settee and several black bin bags had been dumped in the car park.
A mattress and other garbage under the bridge were recently photographed by Coun Haughey before it was later removed by Trafford council. Ironically, the area used by walkers, dog walkers, cyclists and runners, is right on the doorstep of Stretford tip.
