Somebody or some people have dumped household furniture near Drayton substation off Hanney Road in Steventon.

Vale of White Horse District Council is aware of the illegal dump and has sent workmen down to log it.

The council pointed out that the waste is a very short drive to the Drayton Household Waste Recycling Centre along Steventon Road up to Drayton.

A spokesman for the council said: “Over the Easter weekend, someone dumped this large amount of waste near the electrical substation along Hanney Road, Steventon.

“All of these items could have been taken free of charge to the nearby recycling centre, just by completing the county council’s free online booking form.
