“Our enforcement officers have investigated and spoken with the nearby homeowners and residents but unfortunately, have not been able to determine who was responsible.
“The area is now being monitored regularly in case there are further fly tipping incidents.”
They added: “It is hoped that the new fence at the top of the banking and a heightened enforcement presence in the area will deter further incidents.”
