The clear-up of one of England's largest illegal waste tips has been completed - landing taxpayers with a £6m bill.

The government has vowed to recoup the clearance costs for the Kidlington dump in Oxfordshire - and seven other sites - from the criminals responsible.

In 2025, around 22,000 tonnes of domestic and commercial rubbish was dumped at the spot, between the River Cherwell and the A34. It is one of nearly 30 so-called "supersites" first uncovered by a BBC investigation.
