House used as makeshift dump is finally cleared after nightmare neighbour evicted

Before-and-after pictures show how a house of horrors which was turned into a makeshift dump has finally been cleared of rubbish after more than a year.

Residents had complained their lives had been made a misery by the mountain of junk piled up outside the property on Peach Avenue, in Stafford.

Families said the festering eyesore had been making their children ill and attracting rats which were invading neighbours homes.

Last week, tenant Steven Glover was booted out of the rented property after Stafford Borough Council was granted an official closure order.
