A business owner has called on Liverpool Council to do more after flytippers left "bottles of urine" on a busy industrial estate.
Simon Barnfather, managing director of manufacturing firm Proline Corporation, said the local authority needed to clamp down on drivers of heavy goods vehicles leaving rubbish at Gillmoss Industrial Estate, off the East Lancs Road, including what he describes as bottles filled with urine. Mr Barnfather added that rubbish is “accumulating with no consequences” to those responsible.
He said: “Proline Corporation Ltd have been on Gillmoss Industrial Estate for over 17 years and have never had any problems. Unfortunately, over the last few years, we seem to be having a lot of problems with lorries parking up at the sides of the road and blocking oncoming traffic.

“The drivers of the lorries have no respect as they throw rubbish out of their window and bottles filled with urine. The latest issue is fly tipping.
“There is also a lot of rubbish that has been fly tipped at the sides of the road on Electric Avenue, and on an empty field next to another unit, that is owned by Liverpool Council, over the past few weeks more and more rubbish is accumulating with no consequences to the people who are committing this crime.”
Mr Barnfather said his business had reported the issue to the local authority “several times” but no action had been taken. He added: “Proline have not received any comments from Liverpool Council regarding this issue or to say they are looking into it.”
Mr Barnfather said: “As a result of the fly tipping, this will no doubt attract rodents to the field. As Proline’s office and factory is located next to the field, we do not want the rodents coming into our premises and causing an issue.
“Again, this has been notified to Liverpool Council, but no response has been received.” A spokesperson for Liverpool Council confirmed that officers were visiting the site this week to assess the location.
