A CUDWORTH councillor has called the fly-tipping situation an 'absolute nightmare' and is calling on people to report any fly tippers in the area.
Coun Charlie Wraith said people are tipping all sorts of rubbish onto the side of the road.
"It's an absolute nightmare," he said. "We have a problem with this on a regular basis, we are always having to send down people to pick up the mess that other people have made."
Coun Wraith explained that the council has had 1,200 reports of fly tipping across the borough over the last 12 months, and it takes £1.5 million to clear it up.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
