Fly tipping

Action against fly tipping

East Park's Lib Dem candidate Darren Friel has called for tough action to be taken by Wolverhampton City Council to stop fly tippers dumping their rubbish on open land in Brooklands ÂParade.The land in ÂBrooklands Parade is littered with Âeverything from old Âsettees to mattresses and household waste. Darren said; "The thoughtless people Âresponsible for the Ârubbish is turning the area into an eyesore and causing a public health hazard. It will attract vermin and there is simply no Âexcuse for this antisocial behaviour. Its an added cost to tax payers to clean up after them". This tipping will be searched for Âevidence by Âenforcement officers for prosecution Âpurposes. Offenders can be fined up to £20,000 and/or 6 months' Âimprisonment.
