This week on-the-spot fines were introduced for fly-tipping offences across England, Wales and Scotland. Figures show that the amount of public money spent on removing fly-tipped waste from public land has risen by 13 million pounds in two years, at a total of nearly 50 million pounds. 5 live’s Rowan Bridge joined Paul Cookson, a Waste Enforcement Officer at Preston City Council, on patrol. Paul said residents who have recently moved out “dump their household in the alleyway”. Les, who lives on a street where rubbish has been left, said “you start seeing rats. It’s very depressing. People can’t sell their properties”. This clip is originally from 5 live breakfast on Friday 13 May 2016.
