Fly-tipped waste dumped and described as “almost apocalyptic” will not be fully cleared until a long-term solution is found to stop rubbish repeatedly returning.<\/p>\n
Builders’ rubble, garden waste, kitchen appliances and office furniture line Offerton Lane, just outside Worcester, where rubbish has built up over several years.<\/p>\n
Councillor Sarah Murray, who represents the St. Nicholas ward on Worcester City Council, said previous clean-ups had proved ineffective because the site continued to attract fly-tipping.<\/p>\n
The city council said it was discussing preventative measures with Worcestershire County Council ahead of a planned “deep clean” of the site early next year.<\/p>\n
“It’s almost apocalyptic. It’s a mess and it’s ongoing,” Murray said.<\/p>\n
“It’s been going on for too long. You can see that this is builders’ rubble, garden waste, there’s a fridge freezer, there’s an office chair, trees have been burnt.<\/p>\n
“It’s just awful.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fly-tipped waste dumped and described as “almost apocalyptic” will not be fully cleared until a long-term solution is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":807615,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1397,90,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-807614","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-environment","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/807614","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=807614"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/807614\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/807615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=807614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=807614"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=807614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
