'They know the council will clean it up eventually - we need help'

41 FLY-TIPPING INCIDENTS REPORTED IN ONE DAY

- ADAM DUTTON News Reporter

FURIOUS peoples living in a filthy Birmingham suburb hit out at shameless fly-tippers after recording 41 incidents in a single day.

Grim images show the streets in Lozells, to the west of the city, piled high with broken furniture, abandoned fridges and dirty mattresses.

Meanwhile, swarms of flies hover over burst bin bags as rotting food spills out onto the pavements.

The stomach-churning scenes come after bin workers voted in favour of carrying on their strike until next spring.

Labour Cllr Waseem Zaffar, who represents Lozells, revealed he reported 41 fly-tipping incidents on Sunday alone.

Posting on X, he said: "I've reported 41 fly-tipping incidents in Lozells to Birmingham City Council's street cleaning teams, complete with photographic evidence and specific locations. I'll be closely monitoring the situation to ensure these are cleared as soon as possible.

"Thank you to the residents for providing this crucial information."
