On this occasion it appears to be insulation boarding and some black sacks but it is unsure what they contain.
The items have been thrown over a fence into an area near a gateway between Downes Crediton Golf Club and Hookway Cross.
On previous occasions the lane has seen regular flytipping, from sofas to trade waste, an entire bathroom suite, comprising the bath, toilet, a door, other items and a Crediton Jewson’s dumpy bag full of rubble, waste etc.
On one occasion a caravan full of rubbish was left in a lay-by in the road.
Crediton Police and Mid Devon District Council Environmental Health Officers investigated the incident.
Local residents previously said that they are fed up with the actions of irresponsible people who continually fly-tip along the stretch of road.
REPORT IT
The CLA says it encourages both landowners and farmers, along with the public, to report any fly-tipping incidents to their local authorities.
Farmers and landowners can go some way to preventing fly-tipped waste on their land by ensuring gates to fields are locked, opening up concealed entrances so they are more visible to passers-by, using CCTV in black spots and reporting all instances to the local police force or local authority.
The CLA, which represents thousands of landowners and farmers in England and Wales, has long called for decisive action in tackling this scourge.
Local councils can issue fixed penalty notices or fines for small scale fly-tipping.
Fly-tipping can be reported to local councils via a dedicated online site: https://www.gov.uk/report-flytipping .
Waste crime can also be reported in confidence and anonymously to Crimestoppers by telephoning 0800 555 111.
Mid Devon District Council’s Street Scene team tries to act swiftly to remove fly-tipped items as soon as it has been reported in the district.
Fly-tipping can vary in scale significantly, from a single bin bag of waste to large quantities of waste dumped from trucks.
Fly-tipping is not only illegal, it poses a threat to humans and wildlife, damages our environment, and spoils our towns and countryside.
Flytipping costs millions of pounds to taxpayers to clean up each year.
CHECK
Therefore, if you’ve hired the services of a private company to dispose of your waste, it’s imperative you check that the service provider holds a valid Waste Carrier’s Licence and you’re certain that the waste will be disposed of legally. Receipts and contact details of the company used should be retained.
If you witness fly-tipping taking place on public land, useful information to record includes:
• Time and date of the incident
• A description of the person(s) dumping the waste
• A description of the vehicle(s) involved, including registration numbers
• A description of the waste dumped, including amount and type
• A photograph, providing it is safe to take one.
Fly-tipping can be reported to Mid Devon District Council via its Customer First team on 01884 255255, or online via the council’s website at: middevon.gov.uk/ReportFlyTipping .
