A THIRTY-ton pile of conifer cuttings on a Stourport road has been described as a danger to drivers.

Kidderminster Police say the latest incident which saw a giant pile of garden waste dumped in Larford Lane, Astley, was the tenth of its kind this year.

Mike Davis, Worcestershire Highways Partnership manager, said he wants to trace householders who may have employed workmen to cut down their conifers.

He said: "It was a serious safety hazard and there could have been a bad accident."

Kidderminster Police are appealing for help in tracing lorries which dump the rubbish and can be contacted on 01562 820888.
