The site

    A suspected illegal scrap yard at Cricklade in Wiltshire was first reported in 2014. 

    The problem

    Although no current or likely environmental and community impacts have been detailed, waste still remains on the site designated as watchlist 36 as part of the Environment Agency’s national investigation into suspected unlawful waste sites. 

    The action we've taken

    The Environment Agency’s Thames Enforcement team has been working with the local authority and the police to review next steps and will take appropriate regulatory action where it feels this is necessary.
