    Residents and students in Leeds have complained after piles of rubbish were left across Hyde Park and Headingley today.

    The start of July often sees students leave their current accommodation and move into new houses and flats across the city.

    Pictures shared on social media show overflowing bins, bags of rubbish left on streets and furniture such as mattresses and sofas lying on footpaths.

    Elena (pictured below), a student at Leeds Conservatoire, says: “When we turned up to this house, our new one, the whole entire house was covered in the last tenant’s litter. It’s everywhere.”

    Kate Wells (pictured below), a nearby resident in Hyde Park, says she woke up to rubbish “piled up outside almost every student house”.

    She says: “It feels like living in a slum, to be honest. There’s a lot of rubbish everywhere, there’s furniture out in people’s yards. It just doesn’t feel like a very nice place to live.”

    Leeds City Council has been approached for comment.
