Man faces trial for dumping 27 tonnes of waste that blocked rural access
Darren Sheen, a 39-year-old businessman, has pleaded not guilty to charges of allegedly fly-tipping over 27 tonnes of waste on a rural lane. The substantial amount of waste, reportedly dumped from a lorry on Watery Lane on 19 January, measured over 20 metres in length and two metres in height, obstructing residents in a Lichfield village. The cleanup operation for the fly-tip incurred a cost of £10,000, with the waste firm Wilshees Waste and Recycling describing it as their largest ever. Sheen's trial is scheduled for 8 March 2027. The wait is due to the current court backlog. Watch the video of the massive rubbish pile above.
