A Liverpudlian couple who have lived on the same road for forty year have spoken of their despair after their community made headlines this week after an enormous and unsightly mess was pictured scattered across the street.
Ann and Ray Dickson have lived in Woodcroft Road in the Picton area of Wavertree in south Liverpool since they were married four decades ago.
They said the area use to be full of families with a real sense of community but recently homes have been turned into Houses of Multiple Occupancy (HMOs) for students and the area has been plagued with rubbish and rodents.
