The lane has been a fly-tipping magnet for several years

"I’m a volunteer at the Woodlands Community Development Trust and we do litter picks and we’ve started lane groups so residents can come together to sort out the issues of fly-tipping and try and make the lanes a nice space and create a bit of community around them.

New gates have also been installed as well as signs making residents aware of the council's bulk uplift service. She said:"When people do dump things, if possible we call it into the council, because the arrogance of it, people will actually dump things with their addresses on them so we name and shame because how are we going to correct the behaviours if we don’t have some enforcement going on."It’s just incredible the volume."

Nearby Rupert Lane hosted a market, and Fiona believes after some work, similar events could be held on Willowbank Lane in the future."We’re going to have this festival again probably every two years and at some point, I would like to see multiple lanes being part of this because they’re actually nice spaces where people can just come out their back doors and do things together.
