Alder Street’s Blight: Residents Desperate for Action on Fly-Tipping, Abandoned Cars, and More

The air in Hillhouse, Huddersfield, specifically around Alder Street and Great Northern Street, is thick with frustration.

Action on Fly-Tipping

Fly-tipping has become a persistent nightmare. Household waste is routinely dumped, turning residential stretches into eyesores and potential health hazards. Imagine stepping out of your front door only to be greeted by piles of rubbish – it’s demoralising and deeply unfair to those who call this area home.

Adding to the visual blight are abandoned cars. These aren’t just vehicles temporarily parked; they’re often left for months on end, becoming vandalised shells that further detract from the neighbourhood’s appeal. They’re not just ugly; they can also be magnets for further antisocial behaviour.

And for some time, residents have also been contending with prostitution in the area. This issue, combined with the escalating fly-tipping and abandoned vehicles, paints a picture of a community that feels neglected and overrun.

Locals say they’ve reported these issues repeatedly, yet the problems persist, seemingly worsening over time. It’s a testament to their resilience that they continue to raise their voices. But how much more can a community take before feeling utterly defeated?

The residents of Alder Street and the surrounding areas deserve better. They deserve clean streets, safe environments, and the peace of mind that comes with living in a well-maintained community. It’s time for local authorities to take decisive action and provide the support these long-suffering residents desperately need.
