The items were fly-tipped at Sheppards Drove in Crowland, prompting a clean-up by South Holland District Council which will see if it can gather enough evidence to lead to a prosecution.

Gary Taylor, council portfolio holder for communities and facilities, said: “Fly-tipping is not only a blight on our historic countryside but a drain on council resources.
