A NUMBER of leads are being pursued in a bid to track those behind a major fly-tipping incident in Lichfield, council chiefs have said.

Clearance work has been taking place today (21st January) after a huge mound of waste was discovered blocking Watery Lane yesterday.

The incident has also forced businesses at Curborough Countryside Centre to close for a second day.

Lichfield District Council has now appealed for people who were in the area around Wood End Lane between 11pm on 19th January and 12.45am the following morning to come forward as they seek to identify a tipper truck spotted in the area at the time.

A spokesperson said:

> “Our officers have been searching the waste and going door-to-door to obtain CCTV footage and now have a number of leads to go on.  
>  
> “We’ve now got covert cameras out in vulnerable areas and have a strong reputation for catching fly-tippers, seizing their vehicles and prosecuting them, but we need your help.  
>  
> “Did you drive down Wood End Lane at around 11pm on 19th January or 12.45am on 20th January? Our environmental health officers are appealing to drivers to check their dashcam footage.  
>  
> “At both those times officers want to identify a HGV tipper truck that reversed off Wood End Lane and down Watery Lane before dumping the waste and then driving back onto Wood End Lane.”
