A resident says he was disgusted to find someone had left human poo in a cul-de-sac, near a nursery in Hinckley.
The faeces was found dumped on a shirt in the end of Nutts Lane near the A5, just a few yards away from Priesthills Day Nursery.
The man, who asked to remain anonymous, said that he saw a car there on the evening of Saturday September 14, with no other vehicles visiting the remote turning point that evening.
The next day he walked over and found the mess with a shirt.
He said that this was not the first time human faeces was left there, and that the last time it happened, the faecal matter was left on some tissues.
“I can’t explain what needs to be done. It’s getting impossible to live down here because of the anti-social behaviour.”, he claimed.
He said other incidents in the cul-de-sac had included flytipping and people having sex in cars at 8am in the morning.
“We can’t live here and keep looking over there to see what’s going on”, he said.
“It’s disgusting and nobody’s doing anything about it.”
A parent with a child at the nursery said: “It’s horrible, it’s disgusting. Fortunately I think our little one is safe in the nursery.”
Ian Long, 41, lives a short way up from the cul-de-sac on Nutts Lane, having moved there a few months ago with his family, including two young children.
He said he was surprised to hear about the incident as the area was usually quiet.
“It’s not something I would have expected. It’s not great.” he said.
“We haven’t been here very long but we haven’t had any issues. We don’t go that way and we always go out in the car.”
Hinckley and Bosworth Borough councillor David Bill has raised concerns about HGV traffic on the lane and lorry drivers parking up for the night in the area.
He said: “As more and more warehousing is opened up alongside the A5, the authorities must give thought to the fact that more HGVs means more drivers.
“No accommodation is ever provided for any of them.”

Nutts Lane has regular problems with lorries using the residential street as a cut through between the A5 and Coventry Road.
New road signs were installed on the Hammonds Way estate roundabout in March in a bid to encourage HGVs heading for other commercial parks in the town to stay on the A5 and not use Nutts Lane.
Louise Wood, 44, lives on Sansome Drive, on a newly built housing estate, with her house facing onto Nutts Lane.
She said: “We have had my partner’s van broken into and there have been other incidents.”
The mum-of-two said the road is sometimes noisy with people coming back from town at night.
