A SPORTS club’s unauthorised earth bund is being removed by council workers.

The 600-metre bund, which contains rubble and waste, was built by Hereford City Sports Club in 2005 without planning permission.

The Grandstand Road club later submitted two retrospective applications which were rejected by planning committees.

An appeal was rejected by independent planning inspector and Herefordshire Council offered to remove the bund, and charge the club for the work.
