Dear readers — We’ve done a lot of rubbish stories recently (stories about rubbish that is). From our two-part Sheffcession series about the Hague family of Bradfield, to our piece about tipping at Loxley Driving Range, environmental crime has featured heavily in The Tribune of late. Now, in news that is surely related to our exemplary coverage of the issue, the government has acted. A huge illegal waste dump in Attercliffe will be cleaned up as part of the government’s new waste crime action plan. But will the Environment Agency have the teeth to go after the waste criminals who despoil our city? That’s today’s big story.
This story is free to read. You just need to sign up to join The Tribune's mailling list. And why wouldn't you? You'll get our journalism in your inbox the second we publish, keeping up to date on this and all our stories. No card details required.
