A BARROW man has suggested the town is like a third world country after becoming frustrated with litter. 

The resident shared a number of photos of overflowing wheelie bins and suggested the council should get tougher on fly-tipping and fine anyone who fails to pick up after themselves.

He said: “I have to walk past this every day and it’s disgusting!

“This is the backstreet between Cross Street and School Street, between Albert Street ( where I live) and Lumley Street!

”I have contacted the council on numerous occasions and they do come and clean it up ( every now and again) but within days the rubbish reappears!

“This is disgusting and the council needs to start fining people and or landlords!

“We shouldn’t have to put up with this on a regular basis and it’s also starting to attract vermin!”
