Officers targeted companies dumping waste illegally in Pershore and Peopleton

Companies accused of dumping waste illegally have been targeted by the Environment Agency (EA).

In a t initiative with West Mercia Police, HM Revenue & Customs and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, the EA identified businesses responsible for unlawfully discarding waste in Pershore and Peopleton, in Worcestershire on Thursday.

In a statement on social media platform X, the EA said those responsible had been identified and action had been taken.

"This sends a clear message to others thinking about doing it in the future - don't," the statement said.
