A mountain of thousands of unused PPE kits have been dumped near a nature reserve – with councillors baffled how they were fly-tipped without anyone noticing.
Shocking pictures show hoards of what are thought to be aprons and face masks left in an enormous heap in the New Forest town of Calmore, bordering Testwood Lakes Nature Reserve and AFC Totton Football Club.
The unexpected discovery was uncovered at a Hampshire County Council (HCC) meeting, where it was revealed the ‘large scale’ littering had taken place.
The equipment is thought to have been discarded during the Covid pandemic for being ‘substandard’.
