Fly-tipping left on Birmingham pavement for more than a year

Locals worry more anti-social behaviour will arise in the area, if the skips aren’t removed soon.

Hallam said: “As a resident I do feel quite scared with this at the moment. Really, this is the owners responsibility and to try and get it sorted out, because it is awful.

“If I hear teenagers or children around at night, which they are, it is a big worry. We have lots of elderly people on this road as well that are scared.”

Lib Dem Moseley Ward Councillor, Izzy Knowles, said she has been working with residents to try and resolve the issues.

“The owner should never have let it get into that state in the first place. It’s a beautiful property, they need to keep an eye on it, and they need to be ensuring that it’s clean and tidy outside.

“I contacted the empty property officer, who has actually now sent an official letter to the owners requesting them to clean it up, and if nothing happens within 28 days then there will be a formal notice.”
