Fly-tippers are turning one town into a rat infested hell for residents, it's been claimed. Piles of rubbish having been piling up in the back lanes behind people's houses in Flintshire, often reappearing as quickly as the previous mess is cleared away.
And now people living in Connah’s Quay say the waste mountains are not just unsightly, they could also be a " breeding space for rats and mice." Some have also called for CCTV to be installed to catch those responsible.
Large mounds of items, including everything from sofas and chests of drawers to children's toys and prams recently appeared in a back alley between Church Street and Dee View Road in the town. A photo shared on a local Facebook page prompted outrage from residents who labelled it a "disgrace" and "absolutely disgusting."
