Students have sparked outrage after leaving piles of rubbish as they head home for the summer holidays.
OAPs living in Fallowfield - where more than 50% of the population are students - said the mounds of rubbish had “ruined” the area and hit house prices. Nino Guglielmi, 83, who has owned a local hair salon in the district for 60 years, said the streets near his home became a ‘dumping ground’ each year.

00:00I'm Nino Milano Studio. I own a salon on 250 Wimslow Road. I've been here over 50 years, right?
00:09I live above my salon, right? Now I have a car which I've got to go in my gate through the alley,
00:17but now they've blocked it with the bins and they've put a post with a combination,
00:24which I don't know what the combination is. So I'm having a great difficult.
00:28I'm 84 years old. I've had two heart attacks. I've got to lift the post, right?
00:34Put it on the side, put it back again. It's a nightmare, a nightmare.
00:39The council should do something about it.
00:41We try to do our best, you know, try to clean because obviously it's not very nice to see, you know, the dirt on the floor.
00:48They've thrown everything out. Television, record player, laptop, you name it.
00:54They throw everything, city, beds, mattress, sheets, duvet, the lot.
01:02I've lived here for 60 years and each year this happens.
01:07The students are going away and they leave all the rubbish for us to clean because we live here, you know,
01:14live in dirt and infected. We have rats, mice, you name it, we've got it.
