A GREENOCK-born MSP has hit out at the brazen fly-tippers using Inverclyde as a dumping ground for their rubbish.
The Tele has recently highlighted a series of episodes and Conservative Jamie Greene has branded them a ‘disgraceful blight’ on the local area.
The latest incident saw land near new £20m Greenock Health Centre littered with cookers, bed frames and pallets.
Mr Greene says fly-tipping is taking money away from other council services and is a serious health and safety concern.
In 2020, Inverclyde Council issued 47 fines for fly-tipping - but there were many more cases where fly-tippers escaped penalties and council workers were left to clean up the mess.
