Yet more waste has been dumped by the roadside in Clenchwarton as villagers’ frustrations reaching boiling point.
Several pieces of wood, including some reported to have nails protruding from them, were among the rubbish left at the side of Clockcase Road yesterday.
Residents reported that three more fires were started in the area, and firefighters did rush to extinguish at least one at 11.13am on Tuesday.

This is the latest ordeal in a series of offences alleged to have been committed by one man, who we are not naming for legal reasons, with a layby on Main Road exiting the village in the direction of Terrington St Clement also frequently used as a dumping ground.
The Clenchwarton man accused of the offences is currently on bail until November this year after appearing before magistrates in December, where he denied six counts of failing to comply with a restriction order.
Villagers’ anger continues to grow at a perceived lack of action.

The Lynn News contacted the Environment Agency (EA) this morning regarding the latest fly-tipped waste, but it has yet to respond.
West Norfolk Council stated that the EA is the lead authority on the matter, while the police have also yet to respond.
Cllr Alexandra Kemp, who represents Clenchwarton, previously said she and residents are “very upset and angry about the fly-tipping” – particularly the “noxious fumes that mushroom over the village when it combusts”.
Meanwhile, Cllr Steve Bearshaw, the deputy mayor of West Norfolk who represents the village on the borough council, said: “One man is turning the village of Clenchwarton into a disgusting eyesore.”
