MORE waste has been dumped on one Wirral road, just after an “absolute eyesore” was cleared.
Fly-tippers have struck once again on the exact same spot of Eldon Road in Rock Ferry. Local resident Christopher Michael, 34, said: “I can’t believe that within a day or so, someone is continuing to dump their rubbish there.
“It really does bring the area down when the streets look like this. I can’t see how this sort of thing will stop though.”
Last week, Christopher called waste dumped in the exact same spot an “absolute eyesore” and said: “It’s just typical of Wirral Borough Council. The Birkenhead area always gets forgotten.
“If it was Bebington, Heswall or West Kirby it would be sorted out straight away. I like to litter pick on my own street as I’m passionate about the environment and keeping the place nice.
“I think it would be amazing if residents could take a bit more pride and muck in together if the council won’t do anything about the issue.” He added he was surprised there were not any rats running around the mess.
A Wirral Council spokesperson said: “Wirral Council takes fly-tipping extremely seriously and will take every opportunity to identify and prosecute those responsible. The fly-tipping at this location will be logged for Environmental Enforcement to inspect for evidence for an offender.
“Similarly it will be brought to the attention of Wirral’s Street Cleansing Contractor Biffa to remove the waste.” If residents want to report fly-tipping, they can do so here (https://www.wirral.gov.uk/environmental-problems/street-care-and-cleaning/fly-tipping).
