The Environment Agency has stopped illegal waste activity in its tracks at a site near Chesterfield.

The intervention at the former industrial site at Wingerworth followed reports from the public about illegal waste dumping.

Environment Agency officers made enquiries on Thursday 30 April following public reports the previous day of suspicious activity at the derelict site.

They found around 100 tonnes of household waste had been deposited or buried on the site.
