Tannahill Road, in the Ferguslie Park area, is littered with everything from sofas and carpets to beds and three-piece suites.
Tommy Eggerty, who lived on the street for 19 years and has since moved around the corner, said: “The council doesn’t want anything to do with it. It’s been going on for ages, they haven’t done anything.
“They have to raise their finger, if it happened where they stayed they wouldn’t tolerate it.
“It’s ridiculous because it will be full of rats, that’s for sure.”
Tommy also told us that he thinks people from “all over” come to dump their “all kinds” on the streets.
He also revealed that the bus was unable to travel its usual route last week because there was “garbage dumped in the middle of the road and carpets everywhere”.
The items were eventually pushed aside.
The derelict housing estate will start to be demolished next month after the council approved a £630,000 contract last Thursday.
However, one private homeowner remains and the council has revealed that negotiations to voluntarily acquire the property are ongoing.
Tommy added: “It could be a lovely place. I don’t know if they’re going to build on it, I don’t know what their goal is.”
The demolition includes vacant properties in Ferguslie Park Avenue, Drums Avenue, Tannahill Road and Tannahill Terrace, a move that has sparked relief within the community.
Terry McTernan, chairman of Ferguslie Community Council, said: “We are pleased that this has finally been achieved.
“As I’ve said before, if it were up to us we would have it demolished tomorrow, but we recognize there are processes that need to be followed.
“I must commend the council for their increased and regular communication with us in recent months, especially in relation to tipping.
“It has to be said that tipping is getting worse again. Lately the buses couldn’t even get through because of the rollovers.
“I understand that attempts are being made to divert the bus route for obvious reasons, but until that is done the bus will still have to pass through.
“We’ve been told they should be on site by mid-July to start demolition, so we’re really looking forward to that.
“It’s the last spot on Ferguslie’s face, if you like, that’s being removed.
“The council looks forward to continuing to work with the council on the future use of that land for community purposes.”
The separate process of disconnecting electricity and gas supplies is already underway on the estate prior to demolition.
The derelict residential area has also been a magnet for anti-social behaviour, with the local authority recently confirming that sixteen fires have occurred in the area in recent times.
Councilor Graeme Clark, Labor representative for Paisley Northeast and Ralston, said at a recent council meeting: “I am very pleased with this contract given the number of fires, which have been quite serious fires, at that location and the amount of air disasters. -tips.
“I don’t know if you’ve seen in a day lately how much tipping has happened in this area, so I’m very happy to see that this contract – I think it’s long overdue – is happening now. ”
Councilor John Shaw, council leader and SNP representative for Renfrew North and Braehead, added: “I’m sure we’re all pleased to see it finally coming to fruition.”
A spokesperson for Renfrewshire Council said: “We are aware of local concerns about fly tipping in the Tannahill Regeneration area. Officials have been in regular contact with local representatives and residents to listen to their concerns and keep them informed of the actions we are taking to address these issues.
“Council officers have implemented a number of measures to tackle the problems, including regular visits to investigate and clear fly-tipping and debris. The access road to the site will soon be closed to help stop illegal dumping and appropriate monitoring measures will soon be in place to help identify and fine those responsible. We are also working with our partners in the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Police Scotland to consider any additional measures.
“Officers are regularly checking properties in this area and this will continue until the area is handed over to the nominated demolition contractor in the coming weeks.”
