Fly-tippers bury field in mountain of waste
Published: 11/14/2025

Fly-tippers have created an "environmental catastrophe" in Oxfordshire by dumping a 490ft long and 20ft high mountain of waste in a field near Kidlington next to the River Cherwell. The illegal rubbish dump poses a risk of toxic run-off entering the river system, threatening wildlife and the environment. Local MP Calum Miller raised the issue in parliament, calling for urgent action to remove the waste before it causes a fire or contaminates the river.
