Locals shocked by 'awful' and 'minging' stinky South Manchester grot spot

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Residents and local workers in Chorlton are shocked at the state of a truly horrific and stinky alleyway off Barlow Moor Road piled high with rubbish.

The alleyway runs from Martin and co estate agents past the back of Electrik bar and The Atlantic Fish bar among other businesses and is piled up with rubbish, leaking bin bags and piles of discarded items.

One local business, who do not wish to be named, said the problem has been going on "for a number of years" and said due to the amount of businesses, the alleyway houses a lot of commercial bins and people tend to add their own items.

As did manager of Electrik bar, Andrew Richard, who said: "It's quite a dark and minging alleyway." He said: "There is a massive stack of crates and rubbish and I have no idea where they have come from or who is responsible.

We don't get fly tipped as our bins are on the other side of the road, on Wilbraham Road - but it's pretty minging and awful." A Manchester City Council Spokesperson said: "Although we were not informed of this incident specifically, we will look into it immediately and take the appropriate action to get the rubbish removed. "We are aware that there have been waste issues in the Chorlton area, and our officers are currently in the process of visiting business premises to ensure they have the necessary waste contracts and that they are managing their waste removal correctly."
