Black Country fly-tipping finally removed

Images have been released showing the extent of rubbish in what has been dubbed the West Midlands' "worst fly-tipping hotspot".

Items including sofas, mattresses, skips and rubble, had been dumped on Springvale Street and Ann Street in Willenhall.

Councillor Simran Cheema, who raised the issue with Walsall Council in October, said she invited the media to look last week, before the authority cleared Springvale Street on Monday.

But Cheema explained she did not think enforcement measures were tough enough. The council said additional enforcement measures were "in place in the area, including multiple CCTV cameras".
