Broken glass, empty cans and even a bottle of urine, are just some of the hundreds of discarded items dumped on what has been called "one of the worst roads in Oldham".
Last month, Quentin Crooks complained that Wellington Road, in Werneth, had become an "unhealthy breeding ground" for rats due to an abundance of litter - to which Cllr Chris Goodwin assured him "the waste will be removed".
More than six weeks later and the street looks relatively the same, if not worse.
Mr Crooks said: "This is not a deprived area, there's houses worth in excess of £600,000, but the council is transitioning it into one and our house prices are going down."
The street has become progressively worse in the 23 years that he has lived on neighbouring Grange Court - an "oasis" compared to the dishevelled highway.
The 53-year-old continued: "They said they would get the street cleaning team on it, and again nothing. Just look around, the temporary yellow fencing is obviously fly-tipping.
"It's dangerous, there's a block of concrete in the middle of the road which a cyclist injured themselves on recently while trying to avoid the potholes.
"It has to be one of the worst roads in Oldham."
Wellington Road is an unadopted highway which has posed questions over who should be responsible for its maintenance.
Mr Crooks believes Oldham Council should extend its duties on the land as there is paving and street lights, while Cllr Goodwin, Cabinet member for neighbourhoods, previously explained that it is the responsibility of the homeowners on the street to maintain and clean it.
His response bemused Mr Crooks, who replied: "They are suggesting for patients at All Saints Hospital and residents of a retirement housing complex to come out and clean this?"
After years of neglect the road has fallen into disrepair and there is still no sign of improvement despite the Oldhamer having put more than 20 phone calls into the council about it.
He added: "Cllr Chris Goodwin won't return any of my calls. I've been very polite, I've called him, left messages, voicemails, messages on the I Love Oldham Facebook page- what else can I do?
"They came round to fix the fencing which was a death trap to children but they left a fence, which I said to the council and they told me to prove that they dumped it there.
"The chances of someone else coming down and dumping a fence where the other fences were is slim."
Pensioner David Hart, who used to work for Keep Britain Tidy in the 1980s, also lives on Grange Court and has done for 20 years.
He was walking down the street when The Oldham Times stopped him to ask whether he believes the road has worsened in recent years.
The 76-year-old: "It has definitely gotten worse since I've been here which is a shame because to me England is the land and the environment but when people litter it blights the landscape.
"It isn't just here though, you see litter on the grounds of Grange Court now too.
"Certainly at the minute just looking around I would believe it could be the worst road in Oldham."
A spokesperson for the council said: “Some of the waste has already been collected from the site and the remainder is scheduled to be collected as soon as possible.”
