Dirty nappies and other rubbish flytipped in St Albans park

Piles of festering rubbish, including dirty nappies, mouldy food and other domestic waste, has been dumped in a St Albans park.

More than a dozen bin bags were left at the entrance to Fleetville Park on Tuesday morning, and the Herts Ad contacted St Albans district council to have it removed.

“We are also intending to send letters to nearby residents reminding them of the correct waste and recycling collection days.”
