Hoad's Wood in Kent has been smothered in thousands of tonnes of fly-tipped waste. Now, locals and naturalists like Chris Packham are calling on the Environment Agency to 'get this sorted'.
Hoad's Wood in Kent is known as a local beauty spot but has been branded an 'environmental disaster' after thousands of tonnes of waste were illegally dumped on the land. In some areas, the landfill waste is around 25ft deep, according to locals, and the mountains of waste have been growing for at least four years. Local people reported up to 30 trucks a day dumping illegal waste from July last year, according to the Rescue Hoad's Wood campaign group.
' The EA is currently assessing the risks to nature and the environmental impact of the waste. A spokesman for Ashford Borough Council, which is investigating the reports of odour nuisance, said it has been 'unable to establish that the issues have crossed the threshold of a statutory nuisance'.
