A village on the outskirts of Swindon is being plagued with repeated instances of unsightly fly-tipping. 

Wanborough residents have discovered that their home has been used to dump large amounts of household waste on several occasions in recent weeks. 

At the end of September, a large amount of household waste was dumped in The Hollow, consisting mainly of large cardboard boxes for white goods.

And this week two huge piles were found dumped consisting of wood, carpets and other general household waste, as well as some furniture, office chairs and even a pool table. 

Ward councillor for the area, Gary Sumner, posted about the fly-tipping on the Ridgeway Ward Facebook page. 

He said: "I have reported the recent fly-tipping mentioned by several residents and went to have a look to see if there were any identifying labels - I couldn’t see anything, but SBC will have a better look.

"They will be prosecuting a previous fly tipper at The Hollow where I supplied an address label that identified a householder - so that resident (of Swindon) will pick up a substantial fine for using a careless waste removal company."

This comes after other fly-tipping incidents, many of which involved Amazon parcel bags.
