Large fly-tip found close to Sacrewell Farm in Peterborough
A large fly-tip has been reported to Peterborough City Council after being discovered beside the A47.
The fly-tip was reported to the council after being discovered along the road close to Sacrewell Farm.
Officers have attended the site and cordoned off the dumped rubbish with hazard tape.
Among the items found dumped were car parts, furniture, petrol cans and a large number of bags.
The land is owned by National Highways and therefore the legal responsibility to remove it falls to them.
Campaigners dedicated to keeping the city’s streets clear from litter have welcomed the news that action has started to be taken about the tip but stressed that it has already been there for several weeks.
Further concerns have also been raised about further large fly-tips along the adjoining Sutton Heath Road, although this land is also privately owned and therefore must be removed by the landowner.
Fly-tipping can be reported on Peterborough City Council’s website, www.peterborough.gov.uk/bins-waste-and-recycling/fly-tipping-litter-graffiti-street-cleaning/report-fly-tipping.
