A man has been arrested as part of the investigation into illegal tipping of waste at a site near the River Cherwell in Oxfordshire, the Environment Agency (EA) said.

The dumping of a 150-metre long mountain of waste in a field alongside the A34 in Kidlington, raising risks of pollution into the nearby river, provoked widespread outrage and has been declared a “critical incident” by the EA.
