Fire crews came across piles of waste during routine patrol

Fire crews on a routine moorland patrol came across this mess at Holme Moss.

The fly-tipped waste was found on the West Yorkshire-Derbyshire border by Kirklees District Operations and Prevention Team.

The Team tweeted photos of the mess on Saturday morning and said: "Out for our daily moor patrol at Holme Moss and we came across this.

"Absolutely disgusting. It was on the West Yorkshire/Derbyshire border, A6024."

Councillor Darren O'Donovan, chairman of the West Yorkshire fire authority, responded to the tweet, urging Kirklees Council to look into it.

He said it was an eyesore as well as a fire risk.

Fly-tipping warning signs have also been damaged at Holme Moss.

Kirklees Council waste recycling centres are currently closed until further notice due to the coronavirus restrictions.
