We\u2019ve seen rats. It\u2019s a very unpleasant sight to see when there\u2019s a rotting mattress there rotting outside your property. It discourages people from using our facilities and paying for classes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Labour councillor for Adamsdown, Owen Jones says the council are trying to tackle the issue in general, but it&#8217;s a difficult process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe legal process for this is very difficult. If you find the rubbish outside of their house, it doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s their rubbish. You need to find something with their address in their rubbish and then we start the fining process. This is happening around the area but it\u2019s a slow process and it\u2019s very frustrating for local residents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cardiff Council\u2019s environmental scrutiny committee is set to discuss the issue in two weeks and have said it&#8217;s a priority for them as a city.<\/p>\n<p>Some campaigners, however, say the council\u2019s approach to the issue needs to be reconsidered.<\/p>\n<p>One of those campaigners, David Clubb, says he\u2019s so fed up about seeing rubbish in Cardiff that he\u2019s taken to social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo try and help and support people and Cardiff Council to know what\u2019s going on, I\u2019ve started Twitter accounts. It\u2019s been running around three years. When submit issues of local interest, the twitter account automatically posts it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A community dance centre is calling on Cardiff Council to tackle the growing issue of fly tipping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":181,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[743,744,750],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jomec.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22206"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jomec.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jomec.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jomec.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/181"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jomec.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22206"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/jomec.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22206\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22271,"href":"https:\/\/jomec.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22206\/revisions\/22271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jomec.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jomec.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jomec.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
