FLYTIPPERS have dumped a pile of building waste and toys in a Wirral park.
Pictures taken by Kenny McKay show cement beams, bricks, corrugated roofing, a tyre and plastic bags filled with rubbish at Harrison Park in Wallasey.
The pictures have been forwarded to Wirral Council.
A recent statement from the authority read: "We do not tolerate environmental crime of any kind.
"It is crystal clear that the council can and will use all powers necessary to bring criminals who commit environmental crimes to justice, reinforcing our commitment to improving the local environment.
"If Wirral residents are getting rid of any waste, be that garden waste, old household items such as a sofa, mattress or washing machine or just extra bags of rubbish, they have a legal duty to check that the company they are using is a registered waste carrier.
"Unlicensed waste carriers are more likely to cut corners and fly tip, which is why they can offer lower prices, unfairly undercutting legitimate businesses who take their environmental responsibilities seriously.
"Not only are they avoiding their responsibility and charges for the proper disposal of waste, but by fly-tipping waste they are leaving an unsightly mess for residents and causing additional costs to the public purse or private landowners who have to clear up after them."
