Holbeach St Johns, Lincolnshire - Watchlist site 127

Listed as watchlist site 127 as part of the Environment Agency’s national investigation into high-priority waste sites, the large-scale illegal dumping of waste has been taking place on land in Holbeach St Johns in Lincolnshire.  

Further importation of waste has been stopped through our action and intervention and the site is being monitored by the Environment Agency’s Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire Area Enforcement team. However, waste remains on the site and presents potential issues with water and drainage as well as being unsightly. 

We are closely monitoring any current and potential environmental risks and a formal investigation into activities on the site is underway supported by external partners.
