COUNCIL'S PLEA FOR WITNESSES AFTER REMAINS OF DEAD SHEEP FOUND DUMPED IN GRIMSBY

AN appeal for information has been put out by North East Lincolnshire Council  after the remains of a dead sheep were illegally dumped in Grimsby at the weekend.

Staff made the grim discovery as they went to clear a pile of fly-tipped waste from near the entrance to the Grimsby Community Recycling Centre in Gilbey Road.

Officers are reviewing CCTV footage and checking the waste for other evidence. The find has also been reported to the police.

This weekend’s incident follows several other fly-tipping episodes in Grimsby over the Easter weekend.

Among locations where rubbbish was dumped were: Fisherman’s Wharf, Farndale Way and  Abbey Road and Roberts Street.

They left items such as furniture, a buggy, a lamp and bags full of household waste.

At Fisherman’s Wharf, fly-tippers dumped loads of soil into one of the recycling bins. This left the bin so heavy that it could not be lifted by the vehicle used to empty it.

Street cleansing staff from the Council cleared up the mess last week and enforcement officers are investigating all the incidents.

Say NELC: "We need your help to track down the people responsible for illegally dumping this rubbish.

"Fly-tipping makes the area look a mess and harms wildlife. If you know who did this, please get in touch."

Anyone with information can  report it in confidence via www.nelincs.gov.uk/flytipping or by calling 01472 326300.
