FLY-tipping hotspots across the Keighley area have been revealed. The extent of the problem – described as “shocking” by the town’s MP – has been highlighted through data obtained via a Freedom of Information request. In a two-and-a-half-year period, more than 2,200 fly-tipping incidents were reported across the six Keighley-district Bradford Council wards. The area with the highest total was Keighley Central, where 771 cases were recorded. Its ward councillors say the problem is “a major issue”, but that work is being carried out to try to tackle it. “We’ve been working alongside other agencies on this for a long time,” said Councillor Khadim Hussain.
