More action needed to tackle flytipping on farmland

Farmers in Herefordshire are calling for more action on tackling fly tipping in rural areas.

Figures from The Environment Agency show that regional farms are more likely to suffer from large-scale amounts of rubbish being illegally dumped.

In Herefordshire during 2019-20, 685 fly-tipping incidents were reported, with 73 of those on agricultural land.

The NFU says the rising number of incidents is having a devastating impact on farming businesses.
