The company responsible for a filthy alleyway in Northampton town centre has failed to answer calls to clean away months of flytipping.

Last week, the Chronicle & Echo reported on how the alleyway off Sheep Street has fallen to disgrace after weeks and weeks of unchecked littering.

Pictures taken this week shows the passage littered with piles of bin bags, glass bottles and human waste.

Now, the Chron has repeatedly asked the company who owns the alleyway to take responsibility and clean up the eyesore.

As of today (February 11), they have not replied in eight days.

An earlier owner submitted a planning proposal in 2019 to renovate the nightclub into an 'All You Can Eat World Buffet Restaurant', as well as 69 student flats on the upper floors.

As such, the alleyway - which links the rear of Balestra, Sheep Street and Greyfriars - is private land and is outside the remit of the borough council's environmental agency team.
