Cllr Atkinson says he has arranged for Wrexham Council to search through the rubbish to in the hope of finding personal information that leads to identifying the culprits.

He said: "Absolutely appalled that some people think it's acceptable to do this. This is Springfield Lane in our beautiful village.

"I've asked enforcement to call out and they're performing a search for personal information that leads to finding out who's rubbish it was.

"As a reminder please be very careful when arranging for people from Facebook selling sites etc to take your rubbish away. Ask where they're taking it and if they're a licensed waste carrier as YOU will also be liable as it's your waste."
