Call You & Yours: how bad is fly-tipping in your area?

Call You & Yours: how bad is fly-tipping in your area?

Today on Call You & Yours we're asking: "How bad is fly-tipping in your area?"

Fly-tipping is on the rise - latest data shows local authorities in England dealt with 1.15 million fly-tipping incidents last year, an increase of 6% on the previous year.

Farmers are running a campaign to tighten laws around fly-tipping - because they have to pay to clear it up and it costs them thousands of pounds.

Beauty spots have been ruined by waste being dumped- there's been an increase in waste dumped on bridleways and public footpaths. Have you seen waste being dumped and reported it? What did the council do?

Perhaps you have fly-tipping on your street, near your house or on your property, and you've had to pay to remove it?

Tell us: "How bad is fly-tipping in your area?"

Our lines open at 11am, you can call 03700 100 444
