A haul of empty oil containers was found dumped on a road near Grantham, and the council is now appealing for witnesses of the crime.
The flytipping was spotted on the A607 at Denton and Gorse Lane in Hungerton on Thursday at around 11am, not far from Grantham.
Numerous broken containers and shards were dumped at the roadside and on the road itself, with a large box full of empty oil containers causing a temporary blockade to the road.

Carole Glover’s transformation into a Brahma Kumaris over 25 years ago marked a pivotal turn in her life, providing clarity on her previous life experiences.
