Fly-tippers targeted Oxhey Jets in South Oxhey in January. The investigation is ongoing, with worries about future incidents.
The council investigated the illegal dumping. Officers hoped to find where it came from. Now, the council says they have “nothing to add,” although the investigation is still ongoing.
John Elliott runs the club. He says the dumping bothers them. They worry about leaving the ground alone and fear the fly-tippers might return.
Elliott says the club feels vulnerable. They worry when lorries drive by. The council helped clean up the mess quickly, but the club still deals with effects.
The groundsman found nails recently. These nails could puncture tires. Elliott thinks it’s unbelievable they returned so soon and felt disgusted by the dumping.
Environmental officers saw the huge waste piles. They called it one of the biggest ever. Sarah Nelmes hoped to find the waste’s origin.
The council investigation continues. They cannot share new details now. Police have no details, either, confirming that the council leads the investigation.
People showed support online after the dumping. Locals called it “terrible” and “awful,” expressing their disgust at the “filth” dumped there.
