The scourge of fly-tipping has been highlighted in the Telegraph & Argus on many occasions, with recent incidents including piles of rubbish being dumped in Holme Wood and Bierley, as well as close to the Heaton Woods beauty spot. Last week, a pile of what appeared to be a broken up piece of furniture could be seen in the grounds of Horton Park.
Matt Edwards, a Community Campaigner for the Green Party for the Tong ward, said the situation in the south of the city in particular “seems to be getting worse”.
“Fly tipping causes misery for people living by some of the worst hotspots and we have to make life as uncomfortable as possible for the people who dump rubbish in our local environment. We’ve got to be clear that this is not a victimless crime,” he said.
