'Unbelievable' flytipping blocks road in Lichfield

An enormous mound of waste has been illegally dumped, blocking a rural road in Staffordshire.

Residents said the pile of rubbish was discovered at about 06:00 GMT on Watery Lane in Lichfield, having been fly tipped there overnight.

Josh Sandiford spoke to people living and working there.

The waste is estimated to measure about 2m (6.5ft) tall and about 15m (50ft) in length.

Lichfield District Council said it hoped to reopen the road as soon as possible and would hold those responsible to account.
