NEIGHBOURS were disturbed from their evening meals when their road was turned into a rubbish dump by a fly tipper.

The incident happened last Monday in Hawthorne Crescent, West Drayton at 7.40pm, with a resident describing the sound of the rubbish being dumped like 'very loud fireworks'.

Rebecca Unwin said: "My husband opened the door and we observed the whole road covered in rubbish that looked like it came from a tip. It appears that someone may have been refurbishing their house or may have been working in the local area and decided to dump their rubbish all over our road.

"I contacted West Drayton police station to inform them of the incident and they sent a unit down to observe. They then contacted the local council to send their team to clean it up. The police waited until they came to clear it up."

"This could have been so dangerous anyone could have been hurt, luckily no one was walking down the road at that time because glass went flying up to the neighbours doors. What is the world coming to?"
