Council forced to clear more than 700 tyres as asbestos found at 'fly-tipping dump'

Liverpool Council staff have cleared more than 700 tyres from a huge fly-tipping dump where asbestos has now been found.

On Friday, it was reported that the council had begun clearing an enormous 50-tonne dump on land in Kirkdale. The enormous tip was located on a site in Dunnett Street.

Images showed a giant pile of tyres, furniture, mattresses and other items that have been piled up. The local authority said that more than 50 tonnes has already been cleared, but that work will be ongoing into the weekend to finish the clearance.
