A vulnerable woman said she cannot bear to go outside after a huge rat was found stuck in a hole in her wheelie bin right outside her front door.
At 9am on Sunday morning, Theresa Blackburn's daughter-in-law was coming to visit her when they came across the shocking and "vile" sight. A large rat was stuck in a small hole in the rubbish bin in the front garden at Woolfall Crescent in Page Moss.
Theresa said her daughter-in-law Linzi Oldbank ran back down the path and shouted at her to "stay inside" when neighbours came to help. Despite the bins being cleaned every two weeks and the council's action plan against the rat issues, residents say the streets are still infested with vermin.
