Prosecutions ‘in pipeline '

No more excuses fly-tippers told

- BY ELLIOT JESSETT

A WARNING has been issued to 'selfish' people who continue to 'trash neighbourhoods'.

Sefton Council officials said there are no more excuses for people committing fly tipping offences, calling such actions 'disgusting and criminal'.

Councillors met at Bootle Town Hall for a regeneration and skills overview and scrutiny committee meeting and were asked to recommend a report from the assistant director for highways and public protection, Peter Moore.

Mr Moore detailed the performance of a Why Fly Tip (WFT) campaign pilot which ran between July and August 2024.

The WFT project was funded after a grant approved by DEFRA and was intended to be a 'hard-hitting, eye-catching' campaign targeting the causes of fly-tipping and taking enforcement action where necessary.
