Council officers are investigating after a video appeared to show two men fly-tipping in a road.
The footage, which has been reported to Three Rivers District Council, was recorded by a Silk Mill Road resident’s CCTV.
A car with its boot wedged open by rubbish is seen driving past before parking. Two men get out and drag out what appears to be mattresses or rugs, and potentially various other rubbish.
They then quickly drive off, leaving the items in the road, at around 1.55pm yesterday (April 10).

The woman who shared the video said: “It is ridiculous and shame on those people. I wish they receive a proper penalty.”
A Three Rivers District Council spokesperson said: “The council is aware of a reported incident of fly-tipping on Silk Mill Road.
“Officers are currently investigating and will take appropriate action.”
Another person who saw the video said: “I just don’t understand why they don’t take it to the tip. It’s free of charge and they’ve got a car to take it there.”
Others called the footage “absolutely disgusting”, “uncalled for”, and “vile”. One person claimed to have seen a similar looking car being driven up to a skip in their road, before rubbish was dumped in it.
