Fly-tipping at Railway Cottages yesterday morning |
Many of these incidents have been isolated to the Blackhall Colliery area but yesterday we received a report of fly tipping at a garage site adjacent to Railway Cottages at Blackhall Rocks. We reported the incident immediately and thankfully the team was on-site later the same day to remove the rubbish and debris.
The same location before 8.30 this morning |
It's good to know that we have an active Clean & Green team available to respond swiftly to such incidents but we're sure everyone in our villages would agree that we would all be better off financially and environmentally if fly-tippers made the effort to dispose of their rubbish in the proper manner.
Neighbourhood wardens will now carry out an investigation into this incident, including an analysis of the debris and rubbish for incriminating evidence, which often leads to identification and prosecution of the parties involved.
