Faryal Makhdoom's upset at fly-tippers blighting Deane

The warning comes after bags of waste were left near the multi-million pound wedding venue in Deane, the brainchild of Bolton Olympian Amir Khan.

The venue opens later this year and the area is being blighted by disgusting fly-tippers.

The Balmayna on Washington Street in Deane will be opening officially in March.

Deane has been identified as a 'fly-tipping' hotspot and now a ward councillor has warned action will be taken.

Amir Khan’s wife Faryal Makhdoom said: “It’s just so horrible.

“We spent so much on the building to make that area look nice.

“To give people in Bolton and Greater Manchester, jobs.

“So, for people to do something like this, upsets us so much.

“We hope the local council can get involved and help us out a bit.”

This is the second time she has spoken out about the issue.

Labour Cllr Jack Khan for the Rumworth ward, said the council were going to be ‘clamping down’ on fly-tipping this year with more fines as well as educating people.

Cllr Khan is also looking at putting up signs in the area to warn people that they will be fined if the fly-tip and to deter against leaving rubbish.

He said: “I am trying to get signs put up to raise some awareness on fly-tipping.

“I am speaking to mosques in the area to educate people there and will make a video about it to post to the community as well.

“We want to make people understand that this is their own area and community.”

Cllr Khan says other initiatives being taken up are visiting houses to talk to people about the issue and supplying skips as a one-off event to help clear existing rubbish.

He said: “I want to speak to people in the area and make them understand it is their area.

“We have paid for a skip already near Manchester Superstore, but we cannot keep doing this.

“People need to take control and report it if they see it or suspect it and keep eyes and ears on it.

The rubbish on Back Deane Road has already been reported, but Cllr Khan said it is a recurring problem.

He said: “We are doing what we can, but a lot of the times we clean it and five weeks later, there’s rubbish there again.

“I am speaking to people like local imams at mosques and we are going to clamp-down on fly-tipping with more fines.

“We do not want to fine people in a cost-of-living crisis, but we will if we see you fly-tip.”
