Chris Packham's fury over commercial waste dumping in Kent woods (www.kentonline.co.uk)

Nature expert Chris Packham is calling for the clean-up of a historic Kent woodland after a colossal fly-tip was unearthed.

KentOnline revealed in January how litter is being piled 12ft high across four acres of Hoad’s Wood near Great Chart, Ashford.

Since then, several national news outlets have covered the story and now Springwatch presenter Mr Packham has had his say on the issue.

Writing on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, he said: “Look at this! It’s an ancient woodland and SSI [Site of Special Scientific Interest].

“Where is the accountability, where is the law, where is the respect and where is the understanding that we are now fighting tooth and nail for nature and everything matters?

“C’mon Environment Agency and Natural England, let’s get this sorted.”
