We had a nosy around a West Bromwich road that's been plagued by fly-tipping - and it's even shocked its local MP

In West Bromwich, Forge Lane, is known as a long road that runs by Forge Mill Farm.

However, fly-tipping has blighted the reputation of this Black Country road in recent weeks.

So much so that it has even shocked its local West Bromwich MP, Sarah Coombes, who took a drive and surveyed the road for herself.

Prompted by Sarah Coombes labelling the situation as “awful” and “disgusting”, we headed down to the road to see what we could find and we’d have to agree with the MP’s unfortunate assessment of the road’s rubbish.

Taking a look around the road, it would be hard pressed to miss the piles of rubbish that includes everything from household items such as old mattresses to random bin bags.

It’s definitely a terrible sight to see!

“I’ve had loads of complaints about the fly-tipping on Forge Lane near the farm, so I’m coming along to see what’s going on”, said local MP Sarah Coombes in a recent TikTok video.

Taking a look around the road, Ms Coombes said she thought the road was “absolutely awful”.

During her visit of the road, Ms Coombes said she’ll be contacting the council to find out about what can be done to fix the problem.

She said: “I’m going to be speaking to the council urgently about how we do something about the horrendous fly-tipping on this particular stretch of road.”
