Officials from Stratford-on-Avon District Council are asking for help to track down the culprits of some illegal fly-tipping.
The fly tipping consists of a substantial number of sacks of asbestos. The illegal dumping took place at Pigtrot Lane, Danzey Green near Tanworth-in-Arden sometime between 1 December 2010 and 17 December 2010. It has now been removed.
Asbestos is a hazardous material which is illegal to dispose of other than to a licensed site.
The contractor or rogue trader who carried out the removal work had correctly bagged the asbestos in red plastic sacks so the presumption is that the customers had been charged for correct disposal. By fly tipping the sacks they will have made a substantial amount of money due to the high cost of disposal of asbestos and compliance with the regulations.
If any members of the public have seen anything suspicious in the vicinity of Pigtrot Lane, Danzey Green or who have had asbestos work carried out recently, please contact Stratford-on-Avon District Council's Street Scene team on 01789 260616. Any information received will be dealt with in the strictest of confidence.
