Construction Waste Piling Up in New Town Fields

Construction Waste Piling Up in New Town Fields

In New Town, there's a big problem with construction waste being dumped in fields near two housing complexes, Greenwood Elements and Greenwood Ambition.

The waste, called bentonite clay slurry, is used in building foundations but is being dumped illegally.

This is making the area look like a wasteland and is causing environmental problems.

The waste is clogging up the soil, which means rainwater can't soak in and might cause flooding.

It's also making the air dirty and is bad for people's health.

The residents have been complaining to the authorities, but not much has been done.

They even caught a truck dumping waste and reported it to the police.

The construction company says they didn't know about the illegal dumping, but the residents and experts say it's their responsibility.

The authorities say they will take action if they find proof that the construction company is involved.
