Fly-tippers dump 200 tyres

Two hundred tyres, traffic cones, wooden pallets and plastic pipes – this is the sorry state of two roads after fly-tippers struck.

Huges mounds of waste have been dumped in Beecham Close and Dumblederry Lane in Aldridge.

Council clean-up teams are now hard at working clearing away the mess and have been forced to bring in a mechanical digger due to the large amount of rubbish.

The tyres have been dumped on the road in Beecham Close, while the other waste has been strewn on private land in Dumblederry Lane.

Fly-tipping in Walsall costs taxpayers £85,000 a year, with the clean-up team being called out 37 times each and every week.
