People living in a block of flats say they were unable to open their windows during recent heatwaves because of the stench coming from uncollected bins.
The rubbish was left in the storerooms in Weavers Court in Rochester for 12 weeks, causing an awful smell and attracting rats and foxes, the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) said.
After the LDRS got in touch with Orbit, the housing group which manages the site, the bins were finally emptied on Monday.
However, problems with irregular collections have plagued the block since 2022, and the hot weather made the problem worse than ever, according to residents.
Zanna Negorodova has lived in a flat directly above the bin storage area for 16 years and said it had had an impact on her health.
