Nature conservation organisations have joined forces to urge the government to order an immediate clean-up of a historic Kent woodland.

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

An investigation into the fly-tipping on the ancient woodland, which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), is currently being led by the Environment Agency (EA).

But now, six organisations - Kent Wildlife Trust, CPRE Kent, RSPB, South East Rivers Trust, CLA and the Woodland Trust - have written to the environment secretary, Steve Barclay, for a government grant to fund the clean-up operation.
