Giant mound of tyres found dumped by the side of rural lane in Stoke Bardolph

A huge mound of around fifty old car tyres have been dumped by a rural lane in Stoke Bardolph.

The tyres were discovered by the side of Cats Lane – which has become a hotspot for flytipping.

The dumping has been reported to Gedling Borough Council.

Trent Valley Councillors Mike Adams and Sam Smith today repeated calls for CCTV at the hotspot to help stop the lane being targeted by flytippers.

In a joint statement they said: “It’s time CCTV was installed to catch and prevent idiots from doing this. We’ve been asking for CCTV to be installed at the site since 2019 and will keep on doing so.”

It was recently revealed Gedling Borough Council paid an estimated £448,000 to clean up after fly-tippers in the borough over the past two years.
