Hunting for the tippers in Hemlington

CHARITY workers are turning detective to find out who dumped a pile of industrial waste on their doorstep.

Staff and volunteers at the Unicorn Centre in Hemlington were greeted by a mound of plastic sheeting, a front door, uPVC panels and window panes and other trade rubbish which had been fly-tipped on the track to the centre.

Manager Claire Pitt is trying to find out who left the mess - and believes someone must recognise the brown wood door which has stained glass windows.

"It’s very distinctive and I’m sure someone must know whose door it is,� she said.

“Fly-tipping is unsightly, it really doesn’t do anything for the appearance of the charity and it’s illegal at the end of the day.�

It is not the first time the good cause has been blighted by litter louts. In February the Gazette reported how fly-tippers had left everything including the kitchen sink in the same spot.

“It just seems to be a very regular and frustrating occurrence,� Claire added.

A spokesman for Middlesbrough Council has urged anyone who wants to report incidents of fly-tipping, or has information about this case, to call 01642 726 001.
