He said: We have been making concerted efforts to both educate local residents, whilst taking enforcement action to ensure serial fly-tippers are punished.
“Our enforcement team work incredibly hard not only to bring fly-tippers to justice, but repeatedly look at re-education, and prevention which all play a major contribution in reducing fly-tipping. We are incredibly proud to see the reduction (in fly-tipping), however we know more can be done and we are investing in more resources to see that happen.”
Flytippers in Norfolk have been fined more than £35,000 since 2012, with Great Yarmouth being responsible for £22,804.
But despite it costing Norfolk councils almost £100,000 to clear up the mess caused by fly-tipping in 2019, only £730 worth of fines were collected.
