Residents in a Derbyshire town have been angered after a mound of earth, the height of a three storey building, was not moved after housing developers left the site.

Ripley resident Chris Goodwin said the 鈥済rotesque鈥� mound was roughly the length of a football pitch and contained 鈥渁bout 10,000 tonnes of concrete, soil and God knows what鈥�.

Neighbour Tracey Lyon said the 鈥渕ound of misery鈥� made her 鈥渁ngry鈥� every time she looked out of the window, and was 鈥渘ot the beautiful view of the Derbyshire landscape鈥� she had paid for.

Developers Morris 蜜芽传媒s have been taken to court by the local council for breaching one of their conditions in the original planning application. They were fined and had to pay court costs.

The firm said: 鈥淲e can only apologise again to the residents and assure them we are working with the Council towards a mutually satisfactory solution that will minimise any necessary disruption.鈥�
