INSTANCES of fly-tipping rocketed by 35 per cent in a year dominated by lockdown, shock figures released by Barnsley Council have revealed.
When the first lockdown took hold in March, all waste and recycling centres were forced to close their gates to ensure the safety of others - a move blamed for an increase in dumps being left elsewhere.
Almost 4,000 incidents were reported in 2019, but just a year later 5,254 incidents were logged by Barnsley Council.
Coun Chris Lamb, cabinet spokesperson for environment and transportation, said: “Unfortunately we have seen an increase in fly-tipping across the borough between 2019 and 2020.
“For the year 2019, January to December, we had 3,893 reports of fly-tipping - still too many in my opinion.
Ten Amazing Slips In Time
One afternoon, during the mind-numbing tedium of a university Board Meeting, I sat electrified with wonder as I covertly read a sheaf of papers on Time Slips, sent to me by a veteran researcher, Carl Grove. At this point I had never heard of Time Slips. I have now read dozens of detailed cases, and even heard a personal one from a relative. Incredibly, many people have found themselves unexpectedly shifted from the present day to the past for many minutes or even hours. They are clearly in the same city, village or countryside, yet in another time period. They quite often interact with those in the past. Many time slip victims report similar physical oddities: they feel very flat or depressed, and there is an unnatural stillness or silence around them. Sometimes they feel jostled by invisible crowds of people. Although the vast majority of time slips involve the past, I have encountered cases of involuntary travel into the future.
