I AM writing with regard the litter situation around the Albion Street and Newtown areas.

The council seem to be totally ignorant to the issue. After a complaint about a build up of fly tipping in a back alleyway, all they did was stick an orange sticker stuck on the offending items. The rubbish was left there, encouraging rats to the alleyways.

Today I have further emailed them to ask when this health hazard will be removed? Litter was also strewn around the front of Albion Street and Eccleston Street. If the council are unwilling to help then who will and what exactly do we pay tax for?
