Furniture and household waste blocked Honeypot Lane in Stow Maries, Essex, overnight on 16-17 October.
Furniture and household waste was dumped in the middle of Honeypot Lane in Stow Maries, Essex, overnight on 16-17 October, blocking the road. Maldon Council is investigating the fly-tipping incident. A council spokesperson said contractors have cleared the waste but the investigation continues, and urged anyone with information to contact the council through its website, quoting reference 26/01990/CPFTR.
The council warned that fly-tipping can damage the countryside, harm wildlife and create dangers for road users, and said there is a cost involved in clearing waste and investigating incidents. It advised residents to check that anyone they pay to remove rubbish is registered to carry waste, to ask where the waste will go, to get a receipt and to keep the person's details and vehicle registration. The council said unusually cheap prices or vague answers about disposal should raise suspicions.
