Residents in an area of Birmingham say they're growing frustrated because it's becoming a flytipping hotspot.

People living on Membury Road in Alum Rock claim the rubbish collected by the city council is instantly being replaced by more.

The most recent incident involved a range of household goods and waste, such as fridges, mattresses and armchairs being dumped on the pavement, early on Wednesday 8th May.
