Fly tipping at Deykin Avenue alleyway in Birmingham. The mounds of rubbish have been accumulate over past few years. 21/02/2023. See SWNS story SWLNrubbish. 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 flytippers 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.
