Raw meat and bones dumped in park

Seven boxes of raw meat and bones were fly-tipped at the site.

Boxes of raw meat and animal carcasses have been found dumped near Llanelli's Millennium Coastal Park.

The seven boxes of butchers' waste weighing about a quarter of a tonne were found on the verge at Burry Port Woodlands on the weekend.

Carmarthenshire council said it was a serious environmental health hazard.

The Welsh Food Fraud Agency, part of the Food Standards Agency, has been asked to investigate documentation and identifying detail on the packaging.

The council said if a business was found to have deliberately dumped the waste it could face fines in excess of £10,000.

The boxes were dumped in long grass but attracted the attention of passers-by due to the smell.

Burry Port town councillor Les George said: "The smell was so offensive it made you choke.

"Those responsible, if caught, should be named, shamed and heavily fined."
