By 12 tonnes of waste cleared from single road in Immingham
More than 12 tonnes of fly-tipped waste has been cleared from a single road in Immingham, North East Lincolnshire Council have reported.
Most of the waste was illegally dumped off Roxton Road in November last year.
It includes 6 tonnes of asbestos, more than 2 tonnes of rubble and 4.5 tonnes of other waste, including furniture and car parts.
As it is unclear who owns the land, North East Lincolnshire Council cleared up the mess last week at a cost of £4,500.
Large concrete blocks have also been put in place to prevent people driving into the lane.
Councillor Ron Shepherd, portfolio holder for Safer and Stronger Communities, said:
“This was an industrial-scale fly-tip that has blighted the area for months.
“It’s not our land and it’s not clear who does own it, but we’ve cleaned it up at a cost of £4,500 to the public purse.
“We’ve blocked access to the lane and we’ll also look at putting up a CCTV camera as a further deterrent.”
“If you have seen anyone acting suspiciously in the area, or you know where the rubbish came from, please report it to us at www.nelincs.gov.uk/fly-tipping.”
