The Express & Star visited the Birchills tip which is a magnet for fly-tippers and where the owners of the property have been ordered to clean it up.

The rubbish now runs along 20 metres of Dalkieth Street and a local resident, who did not want to be named, told us that as soon as workers remove rubbish more is replaced.

He said: "I've watched as this dump gets bigger, workers remove the rubbish and then hours later it is replaced.
