Dumping of builders rubble opposite 42-44 Park Road

Reported via desktop in the Abandoned Vehicle category anonymously at 12:49, Tue 5 November 2024

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6697004.

For at least 3 years there have been substantial piles of what I would term builders waste in a field to the front of my property. Recently I have noticed that roofing contractors have been dumping old roof tiles, literally by the truck load.

The location is opposite 40-44 Park Road Swarland. It may be that the owner is intending to lay a track using the material. Fair enough but much of it has been there so long that grass is well established on it.

Is this classed as fly-tipping if it’s done with the owner’s consent?

Either way, it an eyesore but more importantly I don’t know the nature of the material being disposed of – I wouldn’t like to think there was , for instance, asbestos in the waste.

Also there is now a red car which has been parked in the field for a week or so, which may or may not have been abandoned.

  • The officer who attended spoke to the landowner and informed me of this conversation with the landowner. Unfortunately, no action has been taken and more rubble may have been dumped. I understand that the landowner intends to use the rubble to build a track through the field but the dumping has already taken place over several years with no indication of work starting. My concern is that it will become a permanent fixture and a dumping site for local roofers and builders.
