Camborne 120
Site Info
A large-scale deposit of 50,000 tonnes of construction and demolition waste has been made on a site in Camborne, Cornwall, sparking a criminal investigation by the Environment Agency’s Environmental Crime team for Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
The Problem
ipping, which it is believed began over 20 years ago in 2005, is on a county wildlife site and has impacted some neighbouring habitats.
Our Actions
The criminal investigation into the large-scale illegal activity on watchlist site 120 is nearing completion, with an enforcement response still to be decided.
We have received several calls from members of the public, and media interest is likely to increase again if the prosecution proceeds. We have briefed the local MP.
