A LORRY-LOAD of tyres was dumped on a busy rural road near Leeds Castle today.

The mound of tyres in Penfold Hill, Leeds, near Maidstone was the second large fly-tipping incident in recent weeks.

On Saturday, February 9, builders' rubble and old radiators were dumped in nearby Greenway Court Road.

Hollingbourne resident Peter Lurcock said: "That was bad enough, but this latest tipping is outrageous. It's just so flagrant. I'm fuming."

Maidstone council acted quickly and removed the dumped tyres.
