Meridian Flytipping

A specialist company has now been employed to remove the 30,000 tonnes of waste tipped into the ancient woodland by criminal gangs.

Residents reported lorries leaving truckloads of rubbish at Hoads Wood in Pluckley near Ashford, Kent last year.

The council say the footage was crucial for the investigation, as it clearly captured the vehicle's registration and an image of the litter being thrown.
