An ‘eyesore’ heap of rubbish and fly-tipping has accumulated again behind a block of flats in Slough – but Slough Borough Council says it is not responsible for clearing it. In August last year, residents of Salt Hill Mansions, a privately-owned block of flats off Bath Road, raised concerns about the health and safety risk the rubbish behind the residential building was creating. A Salt Hill resident, who did not wish to be named, told the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) the rubbish had been cleared twice since then but ‘it’s just a mess again’. When the wind is blowing, we get all the rubbish blown into our gardens as well.”Gates and a lock have been put up to ensure the rubbish bins are in a locked compound that is only accessible to residents. Another Salt Hill Mansions resident said that since the summer period last year, a lot of fly-tipping has been left behind the building as well.
