The Oldham Times:

Cllr Arooj Shah, deputy leader of Oldham Council and cabinet member for neighbourhood services, said: “It’s a disgrace that some people think they can get away with dumpling rubbish and litter on our streets – leaving others to clear up after them.

“It’s not the council dumping the rubbish and we don’t have the resources or the money to drive around our borough picking up waste that people have dumped.

“If we get evidence of who is responsible we will take action.

“Everyone needs to do their bit. Thankfully the vast majority of you don’t fly-tip and litter but for this problem to go away we need the selfish few to stop.”
