Work to remove ‘disgraceful’ 150 metre waste mountain will cost over £7m
The 150-metre long trail of rubbish in a field alongside the A34 in Kidlington prompted widespread outrage
A "disgraceful" mountain of illegal waste stretching 150 metres long is finally being cleared from a site near the River Cherwell in Oxfordshire, officials have confirmed.
The colossal clean-up operation, costing £7.3 million, is expected to last around six months.
The trail of rubbish caused widespread outrage, led to a criminal investigation and the Environment Agency declaring the situation a critical incident last November.
