'Safety hazard' Residents hit out at lack of action over flytipping
Bristol Post
|July 29, 2025
PEOPLE living in a road in South Bristol say an access lane that serves their back gardens and garages is now impassable because of years of council inaction over regular reports of flytipping.
The residents of the road in the Broomhill area of Brislington say Bristol City Council has neglected the lane, let it become too overgrown and people have dumped everything from logs to boats, blocking up their access.
They said that, as well as the issues with rubbish being dumped and access being blocked, they fear a fire could start and spread to threaten their homes after someone set a dumped sofa on fire and it spread across a nearby field earlier this month.
Belroyal Avenue is a U-shaped road with two entrances off Broomhill Road in BS4 that was built in the 1950s as part of the wider council housebuilding development. Around the back of the mini-estate is Belroyal Lane, which circles the back of the crescent, and is supposed to allow vehicular access to the back gardens and garages behind the homes.
