Trenchards Lane fly tipping cleared by community

Trenchards Lane was blocked yesterday evening by bricks that had been dumped – fly tipping that made the lane completely impassable.

Thank you to members of the community who helped clear the road so it’s now passable. The debris is still on the sides of the road, so take care if you’re using that route.

Police were called and arrived as we were finishing clearing the lane. Highways are aware. I’ll follow up with Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council and Hampshire County Council on Monday to make sure the remaining debris is cleared.

If you see fly tipping, please report it to Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council via their online reporting form. Include the location (what3words is helpful), photos if safe to take, and any vehicle details if you witnessed the dumping. For more information on reporting different issues, see the report it page.
