Do YOU live in Tiverton? Contact matt.drake@mailonline.co.ukResidents of a picturesque Devonshire town are furious over plans to dump 350,000 tonnes of rubble from construction projects near their homes.

The plan would see 40-tonne HGV lorries driving through the estate's narrow roads 'every 7.5 minutes', documents say.Residents of the Against Greenway Landfill action group, Tiverton, Devon captured in Uplowman on March 17th 2024The land proposed for waste disposal was previously used as an illegal dumping area.

Mr Fields, who has turned his farm into a nature reserve and runs tree planting charity Gift a Tree, said: 'It's a two-way road. You've got the hedge touching both of your wingmirrors.'I believe it will be devastating for wildlife. The council do not give a rat's arse. Residents have formed a Residents Against Greenway Landfill action group and begun fundraising to get professional assistance to oppose the plans.

A spokesperson for Decharge Ltd said: 'With the small number of vehicles utilising the lane leading to Uplowman Road, the frequency of vehicles travelling in opposing directions due to the proposed scheme is likely to be low.
