PILES of rubbish ranging from everyday waste to bath tubs are being dumped in a Greenford alley, say residents.
Anna Ricciardi, of Kings Avenue, said the passage in between the row of private housing where she lives and the council owned Dormers Wells estate is being misused.
Mrs Ricciardi, 52, said that part of the metal mesh separating the properties is falling down which is dangerous and attracting burglars who can climb over easily.
She said: "Our houses are terraced and every group of four has an alleyway where we can park our cars. People are coming, smoking drugs and littering there. They have dumped bath tubs, pool tables, big tubs of paint, suitcases, empty cans and takeaway boxes.
"Because it’s a long road, to save money, half of the wall is made out of bricks and the other half is metal mesh which is going down into the properties. You can easily cut yourself. It’s really dangerous and I want to know who is going to be responsible if anyone gets hurt over there."
She added: "My neighbours are elderly so they don’t even attempt to go there and my daughter is petrified because there are always people around."
Mrs Ricciardi, who lives with her husband, 24-year-old daughter and 21-year-old son said she has contacted the council but said that they told her they do not have the funds to make the wall in between Kings Avenue and the estate higher.
She said the wall is about eight feet high but the rubbish reaches up to around five feet.
Mrs Ricciardi, who has lived in her house for about two and a half years, said: "I think the council should do something about it because Dormers Wells is council property. I want them to get rid of the metal."
Officers from Ealing council will be visiting the area to investigate residents’ concerns.
