The streets of Kingsley have been flooded with fly-tipping and mounds of bin bags with residents 'getting used to it'.
Kingsley Park has become a 'landfill', particularly on St. Matthews Parade and Oliver Street as the pavement is plastered with litter and waste. Locals have been vocal to West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) as they attempt to tackle the waste crisis in the county.
Katherine Wright, 29, is one of many that are fed up with their homes being treated like a 'dumping ground': "It's never been great but as soon as you step out all you can see is just litter and filth..."

"Whether its matteresses and bottles wherever you step... you just realise you have to get used to it by now... every week its the same."
Residents have taken to social media with uproar of the state of their neighbourhood, stating its 'disgraceful' and 'heartbreaking'.

WNC have made it their mission to clear the streets of Northampton, with seven people being charged over £7,000 for polluting the town this month.

The council states that it's criminal offence that can be faced with five years imprisonment or over £50,000 in fines and urges to report any sightings.
