Residents have been left furious after fly-tippers dump a mountain of rubbish in an alleyway just days after it was deep cleaned. 

An astonishing nine tonnes of waste including, food scraps and mattresses were left down the street in Middlesbrough. 

Locals were horrified to find the ginnel between Errol Street and Abingdon Road completely blocked by the numerous piles of litter.   

The fly-tippers also struck just nine days after the path was deep-cleaned.

Kelly Grey, 40, who has lived in the area for five years, said: ‘The fly-tippers come at all hours of the day and night. They’re so brazen.

‘They just use the alleyways as a dumping ground. It’s vile to walk out your door to see rubbish piled up.

‘When the alley was cleaned it was great but it barely lasted a week. It’s soul-destroying.’

Another woman said: ‘The rubbish attracts rats and with the warm weather the smell is unbearable.

‘You can’t sit out of open your windows, it’s horrible.’

Six workers from the council’s environmental services team spent hours clearing the latest mess at the taxpayers’ expense.

In the past year Middlesbrough Council has received 5,500 complaints about fly-tipping across the city.

Residents are now demanding the council take action to crackdown on litter louts.

Since the start of the year 44 people have been fined up to £800 for environmental crime-related offences including fly-tipping.

Councillor Janet Thompson, the council’s Executive member for Community Safety, said: ‘This is beyond a joke, and those responsible should be ashamed of themselves.

‘Fly-tipping is selfish, needless and inconsiderate and it’s an outrage that law-abiding residents should have to put up with this sort of behaviour.

‘It’s also an insult to our hard-working operatives who tackle incidents like this day in, day out – we will go after these people and we will prosecute them.

‘By working together we can hold them to account, and reclaim our streets for the vast majority who care for their neighbourhoods.’
