Organised criminals disposed of tonnes of processed rubbish at the wildlife haven in Kent.

The Secretary of State Steve Barclay has ordered that the Environment Agency must clear tonnes of waste from ancient woodland in Kent .

The activity finally stopped in January 2024 when the Environment Agency blocked off the site and imposed an enforcement order preventing access. Campaigners from the Rescue Hoad’s Wood group, say that contractors have quoted the clean-up operation will cost £10m and today they welcomed the news that emergency funds had been secured to allow the clean-up to take place.

"This marks a significant step forward in our efforts to restore the natural beauty of this ancient bluebell woodland.
