An appeal has been launched after huge piles of waste including an abandoned campervan were set alight at the side of a road in west London.

The huge fly-tip, which included several mattresses, a trailer and tyres, was discovered next to Iron Bridge Road in Yiewsley, Hillingdon this week.

A vehicle resembling an autosleeper campervan was found within the mess, which was partly incinerated from being set alight.

Authorities are now searching for those responsible for illegal dump and have put up cameras to help protect the area.

Hillingdon Council called on anyone who spotted the rubbish being dumped to come forward with information.

‘Has someone forgotten their camper van? Unfortunately, it’s not quite ready for a road trip,’ the local authority said in a statement.

The huge pile of waste is just the latest to appear in the area over recent weeks and months.

In a drive to curb the issue, the council last month released CCTV pictures of fly-tippers.

A montage shared of different people dumping waste in a church car park was watched more than 850,000 times.
