Bickershaw

Large illegal waste dumps could be due to "criminal activity" rather than residents, the mayor says.

Oxfordshire fire and rescue service says releasing its waste site report could put safety at risk.

The land in Bickershaw, Wigan, is partially-owned by the King's estate, it has emerged.

A fire burned for 10 days in July in Bickershaw at a site close to a primary school and houses.

A major incident was declared after the blaze in Wigan burned for more than a week.
