Site info

    A large-scale illegal waste site was discovered in Long Bennington, Lincolnshire by the Environment Agency’s Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire Area Enforcement team. Dumping of waste began in October 2019, ending in April 2020.  

    The problem

    Clearance of the site, designated as watchlist site 132, is underway, but waste remains on the site and is unsightly as well as causing water and drainage concerns.  

    The action we've taken

    We are monitoring environmental risks and the ongoing remediation work by landowners supported by external partners.
