Olympic mountain of rubbish

TRAVELLERS moved from a site near the Olympic Stadium in Stratford, east London, have left an illegal mountain of rubbish.

Plumber Chris Clark, 61, who was working by the scene, said he had seen the dump grow since their arrival last month. “It looks like people are paying them to take rubbish away and this is where they’re tipping it,” he said.

The travellers were evicted last week and the developer responsible for the site has to clean it up.
