An ‘undesignated’ pathway in a West Sussex village has become a hotspot for fly-tipping – and is now attracting rats to a resident’s garden.

00:00Very basically I've got rats coming, living here, coming through into my garden.
00:10Both myself and my partner have health problems.
00:15We could do without the extra added health problem of rats coming into our garden.
00:22And what do you feel needs to be done? Because obviously you've established you're in a bit of no man's land where no one seems to be responsible for it.
00:28All I really want is for everything to be cleared from here, to right down to my fence,
00:35so that there's a way with the area that the rats are living in.
00:39So therefore they will move on and will not come into my garden anymore, hopefully.
00:46Well obviously no one wants to see rats come into their garden, surely.
00:51We look after my sister-in-law's dog on a Tuesday.
00:55It's only a very small terrier. We can't let him anywhere near the fence in case he picks up anything that the rats have left.
01:02It's just a nightmare basically.
