A crackdown on the dumping of rubbish and vehicles has seen offenders pay out more than £22,000 from more than 100 incidents across Rossendale in less than two years.
Offenders taken to magistrates’ court for more severe outbreaks or after failing to pay a penalty notice have been hit in the pocket to the tune of more than £13,500 in fines and costs, from 29 cases. Rossendale Council launched Operation Trident as part of a strategy of delivering a cleaner and greener borough and stepping up enforcement on those who blight the area, with fly-tipping costing the borough an estimated £40,000 per year.
“Prosecution is a tool which is used when other formal education fails and residents still continue to dispose of waste unlawfully.” Clean-ups of problem alleyways and sites have been arranged, while council staff have also spoken with more than 1,200 businesses boroughwide to ensure they can demonstrate that their waste is disposed of correctly rather than dumped or placed in the domestic waste system. Continued use of both overt and covert CCTV in hotspots continues to provide valuable evidence and has led to a number of ongoing investigations.
