A COUNTY court judge has granted an injunction to Worcestershire County Council banning Wadborough-based Ivory Plant Hire Ltd from tipping unlawful waste.
The company must not only stop tipping operations at Crabbe Yard, Besford, but must also remove the waste by December 20.
The county council took action following complaints from local residents that large volumes of construction wastes, including soil, rubble and plastics, were being brought to the site and large piles of waste materials were accumulating.
They said regular burning of materials was also taking place at the site and in addition the approach roads were considered to be unsuitable for extensive use by heavy goods vehicles.
The injunction was granted by the Hon Judge Matthews against John Bruce, company secretary and contracts manager of Ivory Plant Hire, Ann Gartlan, sole director of Ivory Plant Hire Ltd and company secretary of Covic Construction Ltd, Covic Construction Limited and Richard Willmott, sole director of Covic Construction Limited.
