Residents are being asked for help in tracking down litter louts who left household waste dumped in the road near a village in Stafford Borough.

The rubbish was left in Enson Lane near Marston - a village to the north of Stafford - this week. The waste included white chairs, carpet and plasterboard, and it is believed to have come from a property in Stafford.

Now residents are being asked to help find those responsible for the fly tipping which was reported on Monday (2 December).

Councillor Ian Fordham, Cabinet Member for Environment, said: “Fly tipping, littering and other environmental crimes are a blight on our communities. They can cause environmental damage, they attract anti-social behaviour, make areas look untidy, and have an adverse impact on the quality of life for our community. And most of our residents are disgusted when people fly tip in their area.

He continued: “I hope someone will have information on where this has come from or who dumped it near the village of Marston - so please contact the council in confidence at grimewatch@staffordbc.gov.uk or 01785 619000.”
