Lots of litter and fly tipping
Reported via mobile in the Layby/ Emergency Area (NH) category anonymously at 08:30, Thu 14 August 2025

Lots of litter and fly tipping down the bank from the layby. This litter is building up against my livestock fence and coming through into my field where my sheep are grazing. Obviously this his a health hazard for my sheep and also means that I am unable to make hay or silage in this field. I have general litter, glass bottles, broken glass, cans, used nappies, dog poo bags, fly tipping etc all coming from the layby into to field. As you can appreciate, this is a worrying problem for me. I would appreciate swift action on this. Maybe a chain link fence or similar would stop the litter spreading into the field
With Kind Regards Sheridan Huntley
