While the community is unfortunately used to people dumping old mattresses, fridges and rubble, one police officer in Telford couldn't believe her eyes.

For standing unloved next to a bin in Glade Way, Shawbirch, was an old-style wheelchair that has seen better days.

PCSO Trudy Jones, of the policing team in Telford, said it has been reported to Telford & Wrekin Council via the My Telford app.

She said: "This has been reported as a fly tip to Telford and Wrekin via the My Telford app ref number 588757. Found whilst on foot patrol in the Glade Way area of Shawbirch, Friday, May 5."
