A site in Arlesey, Bedfordshire was detected as the location for the unlawful large-scale deposit and burial of commercial waste.

We launched a criminal investigation into the incident and this investigation is ongoing. 

In response to interest shown by the elected member for the area in the ongoing situation at the site, we have kept the MP up to date.

Environment Agency assessments on watchlist site 4 have determined that the deposited waste presents a potential risk to nearby groundwater and surface water.
