A discarded tent from a makeshift homeless camp has been removed from a beauty spot. Leaders running Crossways Residents' Association of Sneyd Green had reported the tent and associated rubbish on Sneyd Hill to Stoke-on-Trent City Council.

The camp had left residents feeling unsafe. The clean-up operation lasted for a number of days.

A residents' association spokesman said: "Thank you to ward councillor Laura Carter and Stoke-on-Trent City Council for collecting the tent and rubbish from Sneyd Hill. There was so much that it was being collected over days. This makes us all feel safer using this green space."

Do you feel safe where you live?
