Investigators reveal lead after waste is illegally dumped in Derbyshire
Investigations are continuing after the rubbish was fly-tipped at Moor Lane, Taddington, and in a lay-by off the A619 road between Bakewell and Baslow, known locally as the 13 bends.
This afternoon, an Environment Agency (EA) spokesman said: "The EA has recovered some evidence from the fly-tipped materials, which is our only lead at this time.

"Anyone with information relating to the deposits of waste at the 13 bends or Taddington should contact the EA hotline on 0800 807060 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
"We would particularly like to hear from anyone who may have seen lorries carrying waste, especially out of hours or in the dark, on quiet or small roads.
"A description of the lorry and a registration number would be very useful to us."
