Fly-tippers bury field in enormous heap of waste
Local resident
Fly-tippers have deposited a massive amount of waste in a field in Oxfordshire.
The "environmental crisis unfolding in public view" is approximately 150m (490ft) extending and 6m (20ft) tall.
The massive mound has been discovered in a plot of land alongside the River Cherwell in the vicinity of Kidlington.
Elected official raised the issue in parliament, declaring it was "threatening an environmental disaster".
Protection organization reported the unlawful garbage pile was formed approximately a recently by an organised crime group.
"This constitutes an environmental crisis taking place in public view.
"Each day that goes by increases the risk of poisonous run-off reaching the waterways, polluting animals and endangering the wellbeing of the whole catchment.
"Regulatory bodies must act immediately, not in the distant future, which is their standard response period."
Access ban had been established by the regulatory body.
It is difficult to recognize any particular pieces of garbage as it looks to have been shredded with earth blended.
Some of the rubbish from the uppermost part of the heap has collapsed and is now just five metres from the stream.
The River Cherwell is a branch of the River Thames, which indicates it flows through Oxford before joining the Thames.

The MP petitioned the administration for help to clear the illegal site before it resulted in a inferno or was carried into the water network.
Informing MPs on Thursday, he said: "Criminals have deposited a mountain of illegal plastic waste... amounting to substantial weight, in my constituency on a water-adjacent land adjacent to the River Cherwell.
"Water heights are increasing and heatmaps indicate that the garbage is also warming, increasing the danger of combustion.
"Environmental authorities reported it has inadequate resources for enforcement, that the anticipated expense of disposal is larger than the entire yearly allocation of the local district council."
Government official commented the authorities had inherited a failing disposal business that had created an "widespread problem of illegal waste disposal".
She informed parliament members the organization had issued a prohibition notice to halt further access to the site.
In a declaration, the authority stated it was looking into the matter and asked for details.
It said: "We understand the public's concern about occurrences like this, which is why we intervene against those accountable for environmental offenses."
A newly released report determined initiatives to tackle major environmental offenses have been "severely under-prioritised" despite the issue developing into bigger and more complex.
A parliamentary committee recommended an autonomous "root and branch" investigation into how "prevalent" illegal dumping is addressed.
