Mattresses and an arm chair among items fly-tipped on street
A councillor has said that "more needs to be done" about fly-tipping after waste including mattresses and an arm chair were left on a Walsall street.
Councillor Matt Ward, who represents Blakenall, said that residents in Forest Lane have had to live with the fly-tipped rubbish, including furniture, for two weeks.
It's believed that the waste was left on a derelict factory site by the offenders, but a lot of the fly-tipped items have also ended up on a public footpath.
Walsall Council say that they have "written to the land owner requesting them to clear the waste" as it is on private land.
However, they add that their officers will clean any of the fly-tipped rubbish that is on the highway.
