A site in Stockton, Norfolk has been noted on the Environment Agency’s watchlist of high-priority waste sites to investigate unlawful waste dumping. Large-scale deposits of commercial waste have been found on watchlist site number 99.

In terms of the possible environmental and community impacts posed by this waste, it has been determined that there is a risk to groundwater. Although waste still remains on the site, the site has been closed and is being monitored.

Our criminal investigation is ongoing, and we are committed to seeing justice prevail in our bid to reduce the harm caused by waste crime. 

Activity at the site has generated considerable public and media interest. We have updated the local community on our progress as well as providing information to the area’s MP. The site was also featured in a BBC Look East report.
