Network Rail has agreed to clear up an area of its land after councillors raised concerns about “consistent” fly-tipping.
Boothferry ward councillors Maria Coward, Jack Haines and Alison Collinson wrote to company bosses about the rubbish, on land adjacent to Roslyn Road, Meadow Bank Road and Cardigan Road in Hull.
They said the “heavily littered” land was causing serious environmental and public health concerns for nearby residents.
A Network Rail spokesperson said they would clear up the “eyesore” as quickly as possible, adding leaving rubbish costs them money, which could have been invested in improving the railway for passengers.
