An inner city laneway is looking like a “rubbish tip” with derelict cars parked illegally and garbage strewn everywhere.

Lorraine, who lives near Waterfall Lane, says it’s become a filthy rubbish dump.

She told Lord Mayor Robert Doyle cars have been dumped there for months.

“The rubbish is just unsightly,” she said.

Waterfall Lane  runs between Southbank Boulveard and Power Street in Southbank.

Cr Doyle said he would send his compliance team to investigate.

“If we need to clean things up we will,” he said.
