An appeal for witnesses has been made after a mound of rubbish including cupboards and bags of clothing was dumped on the B1046.

Enforcement officers from Huntingdonshire District Council (HDC) believe the fly tip was from a tipper truck that was left on the road between St Neots and Abbotsley.

The incident occurred after 5.30pm on the February 9 and was discovered the following morning by residents.

A post on their Facebook page read: “Due to the amount of waste, we believe the vehicle could be a medium sized tipper.
