An appeal has been launched to find fly-tippers who dumped a pile of rubbish near Lichfield.

Mattresses, carpet, wood, a wheelie bin and paint tubs were among the items left on Hook Lane in Shenstone on July 28.

Councillor Andy Smith said: Fly tipping is both unsightly and expensive to clear up, which is why we’re encouraging anyone that may have seen this crime being committed to report anything they saw, so we can investigate.”

People are urged to report fly-tipping by calling 01543 308999 or visiting www.lichfielddc.gov.uk/reportit.
