The ‘ridiculous amount’ of dumped rubbish is damaging the area’s few green spaces<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

RESIDENTS in Llanedeyrn are demanding quicker action from the council to clear up mattresses, sofas and beds being dumped on the side of their roads and in nearby woods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shelley King regularly walks her dog Bruno through Coed-y-Gores woodland. She said: \u201cWe don\u2019t have too many parks or green spaces in this area and this one is covered in rubbish. I come through here quite often and always see the same stuff around.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signs have been put up in some of Llanedeyrn’s most affected areas with warnings of large fines, but these appear to go mostly ignored by fly-tippers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liberal Democrat Councillor for Pentwyn, Joseph Carter believes confusion caused by the new recycling scheme and less-frequent black waste sack collections add to the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There’s a ridiculous amount of fly tipping in the area. A lot of it is organised criminals taking cash then dumping it in the woods. The council can take weeks and weeks and I don’t really understand what the problem is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The council have told me that they have issues getting their cars down the path to Bryn-Y-Nant to clear the rubbish, but I’m not sure why they can’t find a way around that,” said Coun Carter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
