The Cardiff cul-de-sac which has been blighted by constant fly-tipping for years

An employee working on a Cardiff road which has been targeted by fly-tippers for years said they are sick of the reoccurring issue. The cul-de-sac on Heol Y Rhosog in Llanrumney has had all sorts of rubbish, from car tyres to building materials, dumped on it for a couple of years, according to people who work there.

Despite the mess repeatedly being reported and then cleaned up by Cardiff Council, the fly-tippers keep returning to site, which is off Wentloog Avenue. One employee, who wished to remain anonymous, said the fly-tipping had become particularly bad over the past couple of months.

They said: "We have had punctures on the road because of this. There are nails. They come in on flat-bed trucks, tip up trucks, and you can see the way that it has been left. They just drive away and it all just tips off the back and then there is a trail of it."
