Council calls for tougher sentences for fly-tippers
The Chronicle
|March 10, 2026
GATESHEAD Council has backed calls for tougher sentencing for fly-tippers with the local cleanup bill reaching over £400,000 a year.
The council alongside the Local Government Association (LGA) are urging the government and Sentencing Council to bring court fines for fly-tippers closer in step to council fines, which in many cases are higher.
According to Gateshead Council the average court fine is £539, with the average council penalty notice standing at £626.
In a statement to the press, the LGA stated: "This sentencing gap undermines deterrence, weakens enforcement, and leaves councils out of pocket after time-consuming and costly prosecutions."
