An appeal for information has been launched after rubbish was dumped on a road near Lichfield.
A large mound of waste – including rubber flooring of the type used in playgrounds – had been left at Wall Lane in Wall on January 15.
Lichfield District Council removed the fly-tipped waste and is now calling on people to come forward with information about where it may have originated from and for witnesses to the rubbish being dumped.
Councillor Andrew Smith said: “Illegally fly-tipped waste is unsightly and it is also costly to the council, and ultimately to residents, to remove.
“We suspect the rubbish was left by an unscrupulous individual or company that took money to dispose of it at a registered site, but dumped it in our district instead and pocketed the money.
“We hope community members will come forward if they think they may have seen suspicious behaviour in or around Wall. We also want to hear from you if you know of any playgrounds that have been resurfaced recently, so we can investigate this anti-social and illegal activity.”
Anyone with information over fly-tipping can call Lichfield District Council on 01543 308999 or visit www.lichfielddc.gov.uk/reportit.
