HEATHSIDE ROAD - FLY TIPPING

I really wish SMBC would start to look closely at this area at the end of Heathside Road. It is a real eyesore.

The shops which back on to it just treat it as a dumping ground, as do other Cheadle Heath residents who feel they can just tip their rubbish here.

These bags were dumped here last week (probably by the new tenant of one of the shops on Edgeley Road).

I took this photograph on Tuesday, 16th March and reported it as a case of fly-tipping to SMBC. The next day the bags had all been stickered with enforcement notices from SMBC (for once SMBC had responded immediately) - it obviously takes a photograph to get a response as I have never seen them move so fast!

UPDATE : Thursday, 18th March and the rubbish has now been removed.

On passing earlier there was a skip there and all the bags had gone. The only thing remaining is the Tesco Microwave box and a load of builders rubble.

I would like to know whether SMBC did actually speak to the offending tenant of the shop or has the shop owner just cleared up in the nick of time and got away with it?
