RESIDENTS in Greenidge Road, Hindsbury Road, St Michael, are stirring up a stink over the heap of old metal, abandoned cars and other junk causing distress in the neighbourhood.
But what is surprising is that the owner also wants the unsightly heap removed from beside his house too.
According to Linus President, the owner of the dilapidated house, who repairs vehicles, bicycles, fridgesand stoves, the mess is not all his.
"I have no money to get them moved, and I would be glad for some help. Because I am a mechanic, people have been coming here and leaving their old vehicles. Sometimes I am not even in the island when these thingshappen," he stated.
But it was not long before neighbour Anthony Yearwood came out to voice his opinion, and a quarrel ensued.
"That junk needs removing as soon as possible. It is causing a lot of mice, rats and cockroaches around the place. Up to the other day I had to kill a big centipede that crawled out of there," he said, pointing to the dump.
Yearwood said the place was not only filthy, but it was also a fire hazard.
"If that burns it will catch my house and then the next, and there will be one big fire," he said of the closely knit community.
Another neighbour, who wanted to remain anonymous, said she was tired of seeing the rodents in the neighbourhood.
