TIME YOU GOT TOUGH ON THIS

Councillor urges local authority to take stronger action on flytippers blighting county's rural areas

- By RICHARD EVANS

DENBIGHSHIRE Council needs to get tougher on flytippers dumping rubbish in rural areas, says a concerned councillor.

Cllr Chris Evans has urged the local authority to take stronger enforcement action against flytippers.

He separately called on them to address concerns over rubbish accidentally spilling from council bin wagons.

Cllr Evans says some residents are dumping household rubbish next to public bins, only for seagulls and foxes to tear open bin bags, harming both wildlife and farm animals.

The Tremeirchion councillor said he has sent emails to Denbighshire Council’s heads of service, reporting problems in the village, as well as at St Asaph, Rhuallt, Denbigh, Sodom, on a rural lane between Clawdd-Newydd and Pwllglas, and Moel Famau.

"What we are having a problem with, especially around Rhuallt and rural areas, is that people haven't got enough room in their bins.
