Residents from Leicester, UK, say a derelict site where five people died in a 2018 shop explosion has become a hotspot for fly-tipping, anti-social behaviour and rats.
The Hinckley Road plot has remained vacant since the blast that killed five people. Locals have described it as an eyesore and are calling for it to be redeveloped into housing or a memorial space.
Leicester City Council said it is taking action to secure the privately owned land.
