Bingo nights in Grimsby alleyway after tonnes of rubbish removed

Bingo nights are being held in an alleyway after residents removed tonnes of rubbish.

The alley off Wellington Street, Grimsby, was so full of fly-tipped waste, residents could not go near it.

Now, they have turned it into an urban oasis with a library, a wildlife pond, plants, bird and bat boxes.

Resident Jilleen Bee said: “You couldn’t move for the rubbish, it was horrendous. There were beds, sofas, bikes, mattresses, white goods, you name it, it was down here.”
