A massive illegal waste dump near Kidlington in Oxfordshire has raised fears of an ecological disaster as authorities say cleanup costs could exceed their entire budget.
Hundreds of tonnes of illegally dumped waste have formed a huge rubbish mountain in a field near Kidlington in Oxfordshire.
Footage shows a pile at least 60 meters long and 10 meters high, with local authorities warning that removal costs may exceed their budget and that its proximity to a river poses an ecological threat.
MP Calum Miller urged the government to intervene, while charity Friends of the Thames said the dump was created by an organised crime group.
Environmental groups call the site “a massive ecological disaster.”
