Mr Powell said he had since erected signs stating that it is forbidden to fly-tip on the land, which he said had “been adhered to” and the lorries on site were taking waste out, not bringing it in.
“So the waste will all be cleared from here. I’m not a limited liability company, I’m a sole trader,” he said.
“If my tenant doesn’t clear this site I will and I’ll stand the cost. Give us two or three months.
“I’ll repeat, I’ve taken my eye off the ball, I hold my hands up to what’s gone on here, it is out of hand, but I’m on it.”
