Stafford Borough Council has appealed for information after a large mixture of household and domestic waste was dumped in a wood in Hilderstone.
A bed, motorcycle tyres, plasterer’s waste, fencing, rubble and domestic waste in black bags is thought to have been dumped in Hardwick Wood off Jolpool Lane on 2nd January.
The latest pictures of illegally dumped rubbish have been posted on Stafford Borough Council’s website as part of its ‘Grimewatch’ campaign.
‘Grimewatch’ is an initiative to help catch fly tippers with the help of the public. Residents are asked to provide information from pictures and details of the ‘unsolved grimes’ featured at www.staffordbc.gov.uk/grimewatch
The latest photos include household items dumped in Wadden Lane off the A518 Uttoxeter Road near Amerton and a pink bathroom suite (pictured) in Guild Lane, Aqualate, off the A518 Newport Road as well as a bed and motorcycle tyres in Hardwick Wood, Jolpool Lane, in the Hilderstone area of the borough.
All the photographs include date, location and other details about the illegal tipping with the Borough Council appealing to anybody who has information about the waste to get in touch.
There are approximately 300 reports of fly tipping every year in the borough, costing tens of thousands of pounds to clean up. A number of people have been issued with fixed penalty notices over the last 12 months.
If you have any information you should contact the Council in confidence on 01785 619402 or email grimewatch@staffordbc.gov.uk. Pictures will be updated at www.staffordbc.gov.uk/grimewatch

It always amazes me that these people can mange to drive out to the countryside to dump their rubbish, but cant mange to drive to a council tip (as we used to call it) Don’t they know it’s free and the staff will even help unload their vehicle. I can’t praise the facility in Stone highly enough for their help, courtesy and the pride they take in their jobs and working environment.
