No prosecutions on fly tipping for 3 years
Councillor Kate Haigh has asked the City Council Cabinet Member for the Environment to explain why there have been no prosecutions for fly tipping in Gloucester in the last three years. The
response made at a Scrutiny Committee was that prosecutions were 'difficult' because it was hard to get evidence. For the same reasons there have been no prosecutions for dog fouling in the last 5
years.
Kate says "If other Councils can find ways of gathering evidence, including surveillance on tipping 'hotspots' then I cannot see why we can't. This problem costs tens of thousands of pounds every
year to clean up and I think that the Council should do more to stop it."
