A BARNSLEY MP asked the government to ‘clamp down’ on fly-tipping offenders in Parliament this week.
Stephanie Peacock, MP for Barnsley East, said that fly-tipping is an ‘unacceptable blight on our community’.
In Parliament, she said: “Fly-tipping had doubled in Barnsley in the last year, costing the local council nearly £200,000 to deal with.
“What discussion has the minister had with colleagues across government to ensure that fines and sentences for fly-tipping are a stronger enough deterrent?”
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."
