Furious residents living in one of the Britain's most desirable suburbs have said their 'hoarder' neighbour has turned their street into a 'health hazard' because he has let oozing mountains of rubbish pile up in the front drive and garden of his crumbling home.

Locals in St Albans, Hertfordshire, said the 'vile' property has massively affected the value of their home and even prevented them from being able to sell.

Meanwhile, their 80-year-old neighbour Roger, who wades through the noxious waste to leave his home just once a day, has refused help.

Instead, he constantly brings rubbish back to his home, letting the rancid smell accumulate, attracting giant rats and fruit flies.

'It's vile, it's literally like a landfill. In this weather it's like hot cooking s***. It's a health hazard,' one resident told the Daily Mail.
