"Fly-tipping is illegal and can lead to a fine of up to £50,000 and imprisonment. We take the crime seriously and will take action to ensure waste affecting a public place is cleared and, if possible, prosecute those responsible.”
The council said this there is an ‘unusual amount and type’ of building material discarded and ‘we're hoping someone has some information that could help catch the person or group responsible’.
