Anger at huge fly-tipping dump of building materials blocking popular Pudsey walking route

The dump - which appears to be UPVC window frames and building materials - has completely blocked the end of Tyersal Lane in Pudsey.

It was spotted on Wednesday morning by a local resident.

Now, Pudsey councillor Simon Seary has told the Yorkshire Evening Post that relevant authorities are aware of the incident and work is underway to clear it.

However, residents reacted with horror at pictures of the dump shared on social media.

One said: "What a mess, what is wrong with people?"

Flytipping is the illegal dumping of waste.

If someone fly tips they may receive a fine, criminal record or in serious cases a prison sentence.

You can also be fined and get a criminal record if you pay an unlicensed person to remove your rubbish and it is fly tipped.

Any sightings of fly-tipping can be reported to Leeds council.

On their website, the council state: "If someone has dumped rubbish onto public land you can report it to us.

"We collect any rubbish fly tipped on alleyways, roads, pavements, parks and council land."
