FLY-TIPPING reports across the borough have plummeted over the summer, new statistics have revealed.
Councillors said this week that there’s been a 27 per cent reduction in cases.
Coun James Higginbottom, cabinet spokesperson for environment and highways, said: “Reported cases of fly-tipping continues to fall.
“We want to encourage people to recycle wherever possible, and our household waste recycling centres are integral to how we achieve that.”

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
