Flytipping of domestic waste bags on Nashleigh Hill, Chesham
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6097794.
Over the past two weeks, black bags filled with domestic waste have started to appear on the road. The two intact bags shown appeared on the 11th and 12th June. Several other bags have been noticed over the last two weeks. They appear on the uphill carriageway, generally between the Severalls Avenue and Preston Hill junctions, the last few opposite the speed camera site. New bags are noticed in the early morning, suggesting they are dropped overnight. They would appear to be being dropped from a moving vehicle proceeding up the hill. At first appearance, it was assumed that they may have fallen accidentally from a waste lorry, but they have now been appearing too consistently for this to be plausible. The bags appear to be dropped intact, but as they are on the carriageway, they are soon split and crushed by traffic and the contents spread about.

This has been passed to our Highways Team, who will carry out an inspection and arrange for the appropriate action to be taken.
Our priority is clearing the obstruction on the public highway to make it safe; this may mean that the fly tip is moved to the side of the road for a period of time before safe removal is arranged.
Please be assured we will come back and clear it as soon as possible.
