BOSSES at Test Valley Borough Council are investigating yet another fly-tipping – this time at a Hampshire County Council transport depot.

A pile of wood, plastic bags and other rubbish was left at the Luzborough road transport depot in Romsey last weekend.

It comes as the latest in a series of dumps around Test Valley which has led to Romsey MP Caroline Nokes backing leaders at the council in launching a crackdown on those leaving waste.

Just last week, the council pleaded with residents up and down the borough to check the legitimacy of any company's offering to dispose of waste.

Following the most recent fly-tip on Saturday, environmental portfolio holder, Graham Stallard, reminded fly-tippers that the council is continuing to take a zero-tolerance approach to the criminal activity.

He said: "The council is appealing for witnesses to the fly tip at the Hampshire County Council depot, which was reported on Monday morning.

"We can confirm that the fly tip took place over the weekend. The council has recently had success in prosecuting fly-tippers in the borough and there are further prosecutions in the pipeline.

"We will continue to take a zero-tolerance approach to this criminal activity. This type of crime can have a significant impact on the local environment and we would ask anyone with information relating to this incident to contact us on 01264 368000."

The latest dump follows the 50 tyres left in North Baddesley last month, as well as a number of fridges left in Houghton.

As previously reported, bosses vowed to crack down on those dumping across the borough, and saying they would do everything in their power to bring people to justice.

In April, council leader Phil North labelled those who left waste in Woodley Cemetery in Romsey, "scumbags".
