A passer-by captured a video of a group of huge rats scurrying around a pile of rubbish bags which were dumped in a street.

The footage was posted on the #Fixit Harrow Network Facebook group on Friday, July 21 and shows a number of rodents darting in and out of litter next to a wall.

It has since emerged the video was taken in Greenhill Way, Harrow-on-the-Hill.

Cllr Graham Henson, cabinet member for environment at Harrow Council, said:

“This is a huge problem that we are addressing urgently. We are putting in more rat traps in the area and we’ll also be talking to local traders to check that they are disposing of waste properly.”
