EIGHT car tyres, three shopping trolleys and 21 one-tonne bags of rubbish were cleared from in and around Bradford Forster Square station last weekend.

Network Rail staff also collected eight car panels, a fridge and two safety barriers during the two-day operation to tackle fly-tipping.

Ian Puckrin, Head of Maintenance for Network Rail, said: "Fly-tipping is an ongoing national problem, and we recognise the impact it has on passengers and people who live near the railway."

Work to clear rubbish from Dunston Curve near Bradford Interchange will run from Monday, November 4 to Friday, November 8.

More work will be carried out around Bradford Forster Square on November 30, when vegetation is cut back and tidied-up.
