Brazen fly-tipper dumps truckload of garbage onto residential road in broad daylight

A truck was filmed brazenly fly-tipping mounds of rubbish onto a popular west London street in broad daylight.

Footage filmed by Ealing resident James Trews shows the lorry dumping masses of household waste, glass and wood onto Stephenson Street. The culprit then drove away when they realised they were being recorded.

It comes as new figures from the Environment Department (DEFRA) have revealed that the number of fly-tipping cases councils had to deal with last year jumped nearly 10% on the previous year to 1.26 million.

This is the highest figures since new methods for recording cases were introduced in 2018/2019.
