TVBC left 'disappointed' after further waste was added to an Andover fly-tipping spot.

Test Valley Borough Council is continuing to investigate a fly-tipping incident in Andover after even more rubbish was dumped at the site just a day after the council’s initial report.

Officers first discovered waste dumped on Genoa Court, in the Roman Way area, on Monday, March 30, only weeks after a community awareness campaign reminded residents how to dispose of their rubbish responsibly.

The council described the incident as “a shame” on social media, noting that officers had recently delivered letters to more than 850 households across Roman Way with information on responsible waste disposal.

However, the situation has worsened, with the council confirming on March 31 that more rubbish had since been added to the pile.

On Facebook, a spokesperson said: “Disappointingly even more waste has been added to the pile. This is unacceptable. Our team are continuing to investigate this, but if you have any information or doorbell/dashcam footage that could help, then please get in touch with us on 01264 368000.”

The council’s street cleaning team will clear the waste, and residents are being urged to report any information that could help identify those responsible.

All calls will be treated in strict confidence.
