"We are working hard to trace the waste to a source that could lead us to the people responsible for the illegal deposit.

"Anyone with information relating to the deposits of waste at the 13 bends or Taddington should contact the EA hotline on 0800 807060 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

"We would particularly like to hear from anyone who may have seen lorries carrying waste, especially out of hours or in the dark, on quiet or small roads.

"A description of the lorry and a registration number would be very useful to us."
