FLYTIPPERS dumped huge piles of bricks in the middle of two country lanes overnight.
The two instances of flytipping, which prompted road closures while the council dealt with the mess, happened n Trenchards Lane, Oakley, between January 16 and 18 and in Redbridge Lane, Old Basing, on January 20.
Bricks, rubble, tarpaulin and bags of concrete mix were dumped in the roads.
Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council called it "unsightly" and a "safety hazard", and is appealing for anyone with information about the incidents to get in touch.

Since April 1 last year, the council has successfully prosecuted 13 people, issued 33 fixed penalty notices and issued six warnings over flytipping.
A spokesperson for Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council said: "The council is aware of the fly-tipped brick and rubble in Redbridge Lane and Trenchard Lane, both of which were inspected for evidence before being safely removed.
"Fly-tipping is illegal, unsightly and, in this case, a safety hazard due to the rubbish being left in the road during the night.
"Anyone with information about these fly-tipping incidents should contact the council on 01256 844844 or email customer.services@basingstoke.gov.uk.
"The council will always investigate fly-tipping and take action against the perpetrators where there is evidence to do so."
