Residents in part of Great Yarmouth hit by fly-tippers urge the local council to take action.
Jenny Butcher and Linda Osborne say they send pictures of fly-tipping and rubbish to the council every dayResidents in the Cobholm area of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, said streets and alleys were strewn with rubbish - so they asked the council to take action.
James Wilson, the council's head of environment, said: "It's about re-educating some people, to advise them exactly what the expectation is from the council - and what their responsibility is to keep their area clean and tidy."Jenny Butcher, 75, has lived in Cobholm for more than 50 years, since she got married."That used to be tidy and over the last few years it's got worse.Linda Osborne, 57, said smelly rubbish had stopped her nieces playing outside.
Kerry Hemsworth, a council environmental ranger, said: "There were regularly 90 bins stored out in the passages. "Where the bins weren't numbered or identified, we put stickers on them, moved them to the ends of the passages and after a few days, ultimately, we removed them."James Wilson, head of environment at Great Yarmouth Borough Council, said keeping areas clean will mean more money for other services
