FLYTIPPERS have dumped more than 20 old fridges at the side of a quiet country lane.

The fridges have been dumped in Downham Road, Ramsden Bellhouse.

Brian Greenan, 70, from Ramsden Bellhouse, came across the fridges on his way to work.

He said: “I couldn’t believe it when I saw all the fridges on the side of the road.

“I have never seen anything like it before in my life.”

A spokesman for Basildon Council said: “We have been made aware of the flytipping incident and will investigate.”
