A man is upset about a wasteland near his home. David Wilkinson is 66 and lives in Bradford. People are dumping trash there, and it bothers him a lot.

The problem has gotten worse recently. There are tires, mattresses, and traffic cones adding to the mess. David thinks people outside the area are dumping to avoid fees.

David wants new houses built there because he thinks it looks terrible now. The dumping has been happening for years; it has been very bad lately, he said. Locals are not happy, David said, and they are worried about the trash.

He wants a permanent solution quickly, and David thinks the land needs a purpose. Incommunities owns the land and understand the residents’ frustration. Fly-tipping is a big issue for them. They meet with the council to talk about keeping the land clear.

Next week, they will clean up the area, but this cleanup will take time. They appreciate local patience. They check the trash for evidence and if they find some, they will tell the council. They want the council to take action.

They have tried things to stop it and are working to find a real solution. They might secure the land better. A council person says they know about the dumping.

A witness sent photos of the trash, but they could not find who did it. The land belongs to Incommunities, and it is their job to clean it up.
