Mile-long illegal waste tip in Essex

Recommended Posts

Guest sibon
How can a pile of smelly rubbish get to be a mile long without anyone noticing?

Do the good folk of Essex have no sense of smell?

 

Are there no police in Essex?

They did notice, it is on the BBC. The council just haven't cleared it up.

 

As regards to the police, as the tip is on (I think) private land, it is nothing to do with them.

Is it legal to have this kind of waste on private land?

I think it is a matter for environment health, rather than the police.

 

I could be wrong though.

Apparently there's medical and industrial waste in there.

 

You'd think the landowner would notice, if nobody else.

It looks like an old railway line route.
