 Everything from fridges, freezers, mattresses, sofas and a moped have been found on the stinking mound 'The mess around there is disgraceful and I can't believe we're living like this in a cosmopolitan city like Birmingham that had been trying to improves its image.' Modupe Adejumo, 59, a resident support worker, who also lives nearby, said: 'It's so bad, there's lot of rats around. 'The council or whoever are in charge should clear it and make it useful for residents. 'Our landlord has called on Birmingham Council to act – the street is just a mess, people just drop rubbish everywhere. 'That alleyway is supposed to be a fire exit and we can't make use of the garden because we can smell it from outside. 'We also have a small baby so it really isn't ideal.' Landlord Kulwinder Raindi says the council have done nothing about the waste (){kind=link}

This is ‘one of Britain’s grimmest streets’ in Birmingham where giant rats run riot and human waste sits alongside seven feet tall piles of rubbish.
Locals in Handsworth, Birmingham, claim the waste has not been cleared for 10 years and can even be seen from space.
The fly-tipped trash sits between two residential streets in an alleyway.
