Sevenoaks Council has issued a statement after a huge number of boxes filled with PPE equipment were dumped in a car park.

The boxes were found in Farningham car park which Sevenoaks Council has said is owned by Farningham Parish Council.

Both councils are working together to clear the site up “as soon as possible”.

Sevenoaks Council asks that anyone with information about this, or any other fly tipping incidents, they can contact the council in confidence.

Residents and businesses can help reduce fly tipping by making sure they only use registered waste carriers to dispose of rubbish, the council says.

A spokesperson for Sevenoaks Council said: “The car park is owned by Farningham Parish Council and we are assisting them to clear up the site as soon as possible.

“Our Environmental Enforcement Team has also visited the site to collect evidence as part of our investigation into this incident.

“If any resident has information about this, or any other fly-tipping incident, they can contact us in confidence on ee@sevenoaks.gov.uk.

“Residents and businesses can help reduce the incidents of fly tipping by making sure they only use a registered waste carrier to dispose of their waste.

“Details of registered waste carriers can be viewed on the Environment Agency website.”
