AFC Croydon expresses concern over the delayed response from Croydon Council regarding illegal encampments and fly-tipping impacting Mayfield Sports Arena. The club has had to cancel a junior event due to safety fears, as growing piles of rubbish raise the threat of fire and risk to wildlife. Director Paul Pickering states the site is no longer safe. The club argues that the accumulation of rubbish is worsening and that they are hindered in securing the grounds due to ambulance access requirements.
The club has now been forced to cancel a junior football event scheduled for this weekend due to security fears. Officials are also worried that rubbish dumped on the site could catch fire and spread.
An AFC Croydon associate said the scale of fly-tipping is rapidly growing. The fly-tipping build-up is massive already, and is taking place on unadopted land.
