Southampton resident James Lamont, who lives on Millbrook Road West, complained about rats and buzzing flies attracted to the filth.

HPHA chairman Peter King said: "This is a great start to our funding campaign to support the restoration of historic and much-loved pier railway.
"We are very grateful to the Beaulieu Beaufort Foundation for their support and endorsement of our plans.
"The funds will be used to buy the materials we need to begin the work to rebuild the railway carriages, which are in a poor state of repair. The work will begin once the current restrictions imposed because of the Covid-19 crisis have been lifted."
The railway began operating in the summer of 1922.
It has been running ever since, apart from a two-month shutdown caused by a dredger which crashed into the pier - destroying a 150ft section of the structure - in November 2003.
According to the Guinness Book of Records it is the longest continuously running electric pier train in the world.
King George V1 paid a surprise visit to Hythe, arriving by launch from Southampton, before reviewing some of the troops who were preparing to take part in the Normandy landings.
Two groups of sailors had to make hasty preparations for the visit once the 5pm ferry to Southampton had departed.
One group had less than ten minutes to clean the train before the royal party arrived. The other sailors formed a guard of honour along the pier, saluting as the king's carriage passed.
