Coastal fly-tipping continues

Once again, unfortunately, we have further incidents of fly-tipping to report. On this occasion the neighbourhood wardens took this image of discarded rubbish at the bottom of Deneholme and reported it to the coastal partnership for clearance. This is the same section of the coast targeted by fly-tippers over the past year or so and the cost of clearance is a heavy burden for the authorities in these cash-strapped times.

Incidentally, the Durham Heritage Coast partnership is currently consulting on plans to close the top of Deneholme bank to non-emergency vehicles in an attempt to prevent further fly-tipping in this area. It is vital that you let the partnership know of your views with regard to this proposal.

If you are aware of any other incidents of fly-tipping in our area please contact us so that we can arrange clearance.
