GREAT NEWS! The person who`s rubbish was dumped at a local fishing club and beauty spot has been caught and fined £2500 plus court costs. The man from Woodhouse says he paid someone £30.00 to take the rubbish away, which then, the person went and dumped down Foxstone Dam. He was caught after letters etc were found in the rubbish. It's a great result, so beware who you get to take your rubbish away because you, and you alone are responsible for where it ends up. Natural Eckington
