A Cardiff resident has described the "absolutely minging" sight he is greeted with outside his shop each morning caused by litter.

Martyn Thomas can spend up to 40 minutes cleaning up items ranging from nappies to food waste that have been left strewn over the floor outside the DIY business based in Grangetown.

He said it was a far cry from the "spotless" area that it was when he started working there 40 years ago.

Other business owners have also reported an increase in litter, with seagulls tearing apart bin bags that have been left to pile up.

Cardiff Council said fly-tipping was "completely unnecessary", and that it had launched a number of campaigns to try and tackle litter in the city.
