An Oldham mum has spoken of her disgust at a rat infestation on her street- which she claims is a result of food waste not being disposed of properly and bins not being emptied enough.
The mum, who asked not to be named, lives on a street in the Lime Side housing estate, where a majority of the properties are managed by Onward Homes. She claims she has been dealing with a rat problem for well over a year now, having spotted the rodents running around in her garden at all times of day and night.
She said that a ginnel on the street is a hotspot for fly-tipping and the streetlight there is currently not working. She says the issues have left the ginnel crawling with rats, which have been getting into people's gardens, she claimed.
