The community clean-up was organised by Andy Denham, who started a fundraiser and raised £1,500 to hire a skip and digger.

He said: “It’s been an incredible effort.

“After years of going past this and watching the fly-tipping going on, I just decided it needed to go and I’ve now organised it to go.

“We’ve done a fundraiser, paid for the skip and other people and all my family are here.”

The land is owned by the Red Brick Building and therefore not under Somerset Council’s authority to clean up.
