The borough council is investigating a trailer of corrugated asbestos sheeting and other items that have been illegally dumped on Marsh Road in Outwell and needs help from residents.
Cllr Sandra Squire, Cabinet Member for Environment and Coastal, said:
“Removing and disposing of this illegally dumped and dangerous material will cost thousands of pounds of taxpayers’ money. Fly-tipping is both anti-social and illegal. It also has a negative impact on our natural environment, by taking rubbish out of the recycling chain and depositing it to decay or remain where it should not be.
“We’re asking vigilant residents to help our investigation. Do you recognise this trailer from a garden, driveway or yard, do you have dashcam footage of it on the move? We need your help to identify the selfish and inconsiderate individual involved. There is no length the council will not go to, to ensure we track down this perpetrator.”
Residents are urged to contact the borough council if they can help with any supporting evidence. Please phone 01553 616200 or email cleanup@west-norfolk.gov.uk
