A councillor has appealed for help to trace fly-tippers who dumped two lots of waste in rural lanes near Nantwich.
Cllr Janet Clowes, of Wybunbury Ward, is leading the appeal after these two incidents which happened yesterday (June 30).
One took place on Back Lane in Walgherton and the other on Dingle Lane in Bridgemere.
She said: “It seems as soon as you clear it up or get it cleared, some selfish individuals ruin everyone’s efforts.
“There have been two fly-tipping incidents on Dingle Bridgemere and on Back Lane, Walgherton.
“There is a suspicion that these may be a single perpetrator as they occurred in the same short time-frame.”
Cllr Clowes said the number of incidents of fly-tipping is on the rise.
She added: “Sadly it does seem to be getting worse. Rural locations are especially vulnerable and fly-tippers are becoming more brazen about their activities.
“It is an increasing burden for farmers and private landowners who have to pay for the removal of waste themselves, as well as for taxpayers when the council has to remove waste from council owned land and highways.
“Whilst fines have increased, the opportunities to catch the perpetrators in action in remote areas is virtually impossible.
“Thanks to the two residents who have already logged the Dingle Lane incident.
“If you know where these items have come from, please let me know (in confidence), call the police on 101 or contact Cheshire East Council – when you do, please quote the reference numbers.”
