The Scottish Environmental Protection Agency has launched another investigation into the running of a landfill site at Lendlefoot on the Ayrshire coast.
The tip was named last month in Strabane Court in Northern Ireland as having allegedly been used to illegally dump waste imported from the Republic of Ireland (CM 21 April).
SEPA began its investigation after complaints were received from Lendlefoot resident Hugh Frew. "On 10,11 & 14 March 2005 I monitored several canvas-sided articulated vehicles arriving at Straid Farm Landfill," he says.
"I estimated that over 300 tonnes of waste were dumped from these vehicles. I reported the names I saw on the sides of the vehicles to the authorities.
"Both SEPA and the site owner said they had no knowledge of any such vehicles dumping at the site at the times I had recorded."
Frew said some of the trucks were in the livery of a Belfastbased company, which CM has confirmed is not registered as a waste carrier in Northern Ireland or Scotland.
When CM spoke to site owner Robert Drummond he referred us to his press spokesperson, who did not return a number of messages left on his mobile phone.
