Greater Manchester council has issued TWO fly-tipping fines in nearly a whole YEAR
Stockport council has only issued TWO fly-tipping fines since last May, a Freedom of Information request has revealed. The eyebrow-raising statistic - bosses expect more than 3,000 fly-tipping reports this municipal year - was revealed by Labour councillor David Meller at a recent full council meeting.
Coun Meller told the meeting that, while there had been ‘much fanfare’ about the Stockport Spring Clean campaign, street cleaning was a ‘whole year endeavour'.And given reports earlier in the meeting of successfully bringing rogue traders to book, he was ‘surprised’ by the figures on fly-tipping action.
Addressing Lib Dem cabinet member Coun Grace Baynham, he added: “So why is this the case and why are the cameras we purchased to catch and prosecute offenders not being fully utilised?”
