'Mountain of waste' fly-tipped on busy road
BBCInvestigations are under way after a "mountain" of waste was dumped on a piece of land next to one of Bradford's busiest roads.
Bradford Council said it was in the process of establishing who owned the site at the junction of Leeds Road and Thryberg Street before the fly-tipped rubbish could be removed.
The mound includes bags of waste, a large slab of foam and a vacuum cleaner.
A council spokesperson said: "No one had previously reported this to us. Bradford Council has attended the site today to conduct enquiries to establish the ownership of the private land in question, which will enable us to proceed with the legal removal of the waste."
The site is usually blocked from the view from Leeds Road by a large fence, but a section of the fence had recently collapsed.
The council told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that it would review CCTV of the area to collect evidence to establish who was responsible for the fly-tipping with a view of prosecuting the offender.
