FLY-TIPPERS dumped rubbish near a pub on the outskirts of Romsey - and local authorities want to identify them.

The litter, which appears to include a mattress as well as various household waste, was dumped on Old Salisbury Lane, near The Duke on the Test on December 30.

A spokesperson for Test Valley Borough Council said: "We recently removed this fly-tip from Old Salisbury Lane, not far from the Duke on the Test.

The pictures of the illegally dumped waste show a mattress, mop buckets, seat covers, full bin bags and a carpet.

The fly-tip comes weeks after Hampshire County Council launched a new survey to help it understand the experiences and impacts of fly-tipping in Hampshire and to develop ways to prevent illegal dumping.
