Bin bags full of confidential information were dumped at a bus stop along a busy stretch of road.

Around half a dozen bin bags were found dumped at a bus stop just before Stirling Corner roundabout on the northbound side of the A1 Barnet bypass yesterday afternoon.

Documents such as bank statements, relating to a number of businesses, were also strewn across the busy road after a number of the bags had split open.

The main businesses mentioned in the documents confirmed they had no links to the area, with one added that the company had in fact gone into administration, and neither Hertsmere Borough Council nor Barnet Council were contacted about fly-tipping at the bus stop.
