PEOPLE in Riverside and Canton are tired of the \u201chorrendous\u201d fly-tipping that has been an issue in the area for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residential streets have become dumping grounds for all kinds of items including mattresses, fridge-freezers, hoovers, TVs and rubble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is literally daily in my street,\u201d said Riverside resident, Kelly Brown, 47.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have lived here for five years, and it has always been an issue. We have pick-ups almost every other day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The council do regularly remove the waste, but the speed at which it builds back up has become a real issue, say residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are now calls for the council to take action to prevent the fly-tipping in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe daft thing is, if the council put up cameras, they would save money and make a fortune. But they just ignore it,\u201d said Ms Brown, of Littleton Street.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt wouldn’t be allowed in Whitchurch and Lisvane. We are one of the main routes into town, it must look horrendous to people visiting the city.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a little update on how HORRIFIC the fly tipping has become in Littleton Street, Riverside. It's getting worse and worse and nothing is being done. It's now a health hazard.

Please @CaroWild<\/a> @cardiffcouncil<\/a> @huwthomas_Wales<\/a> can something be done about this@TidyRiverside<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/x9DELCedaO<\/a><\/p>— Kelly Reardon Brown – Kelly RB Radio Cardiff (@kellyrb) January 2, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>
