Residents have said spoken of their fury after a 'nightmare' landlord used his two properties as dumping grounds - leaving his neighbours trapped between piles of overflowing debris.

Shocking images of the houses in Romford, east London, show mountains of rubbish, including hoovers, chairs, washing machines, building appliances and sofas, at the back of the property.

Scraps of metal, kitchen sinks and lawnmowers are also among the objects that are now strewn across the overflowing garden. 

The rubbish, which has been compared to an 'open sewer',  has slowly been accumulating for two years and residents say it is now beginning to attract rats and other vermin. 

Keith Eaton, who owns the two properties, was ordered to pay £4,726 and told to clean up the waste by Havering Council this June but neighbours have said the site is still 'horrendous' and he has 'ignored' orders.
