Residents have spoke of their disgust at living on one of 'Britain's grottiest streets' where mountains of fly-tipped waste are so big - they can be seen from space.
The rat-infested scrap heap of junk has been blighting homeowner's lives since being abandoned along Deykin Road, in Aston, Birmingham, in 2021.
Locals say fly-tippers have repeatedly added to the 100 metre of stretch of alleyway over the last two years causing them to fear for their safety.
The stinking 7ft tall piles now stretches almost as far as the eye can see and contains car parts, mattresses, fridges, beds, sofas and other household waste.
Residents say they now worry the festering mound - which can be seen on Google Maps satellites - could catch fire and explode.
They say the problem has become so bad, they also cannot access their houses from the back and rats can be seen regularly scurrying over the rubbish heaps.
