More than three metric tonnes of rubbish was dumped by fly-tippers who completely blocked a country lane in north Shropshire.
The rubbish – cleared up by Shropshire Council’s contractor Idverde in late May – included nappies, building insulation, empty paint tubs, building rubble and general household waste.
Andy Wilde, assistant director – infrastructure with Shropshire Council, said: “Sadly, and in common with the rest of the country, Shropshire has experienced an increase in fly-tipping in recent years – and this recent incident near Trefonen is just one example. “We are working with West Mercia Police and actively investigating all reports of fly-tipping and will take enforcement action against offenders."We’re asking residents, businesses and visitors to help by reporting any suspicious activities, where illegal dumping has occurred. The assistance of our communities really is crucial in our efforts.
