Article summary

The Environment Agency (EA) has partnered with Warwickshire Police during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic to investigate reports of an illegal waste site. The EA and Warwickshire Police were alerted to the fact that large scale waste was being deposited on a former car boot site and then buried near the bank of the River Cole in Coleshill. The EA started an investigation of the land which is privately owned, and efforts are being made to notify the landowner of the illegal activity taking place. The EA reminded landowners that they may be committing an offence by allowing waste to be stored on their land without the relevant permissions.
