Althorp Estate has recently been hit by rogue rubbish dumpers, according to the estate’s conservation manager.

The conservation manager wrote on Twitter: “Bad news. Two huge fly-tipped rubbish heaps on one of our farm tracks today, both mainly cannabis growing paraphernalia.

“Good news. We have the vehicle responsible for this mess and its registration on camera. We have a good record of [prosecution] success on the estate. They still don't learn.”

The tweet has been viewed by 56,000 people and liked and shared by hundreds.

A council spokesman has previously said the best way to highlight any issues with fly-tips, street cleansing issues, missed bin collections and graffiti is to visit its website or use its app.
