An “atrocious” fly-tip is being investigated as Watford’s council seeks “formal legal action”.
Heaps of rubbish were dumped near Leggatts Way, Watford, at the Callowland Allotments car park and near Harebreaks Recreation Ground, last week, before they were reported on Monday (September 25).
The Watford Observer understands that a photo of a van loaded with similar rubbish at another location has been shared with an investigation into the offence.

An Environmental Health spokesperson said: “Watford Borough Council can confirm that a fly-tip report has been received and is subject to an ongoing investigation.
“If the person responsible for the fly-tip can be identified, formal legal action will be taken. Illegal disposal of waste is antisocial, illegal, and we will always take action when we can.”
North Watford county councillor Asif Khan said: “It is atrocious what has happened. I hope whoever did it gets caught and the book gets thrown at them.
“It’s a lazy and selfish thing to do.”
