Another outbreak of fly tipping this time in Foul Lane.

Fly-tipping is the illegal deposit of waste on land. Fly-tipping differs from littering in that it involves the removal of waste from premises where it was produced with the deliberate aim of disposing of it unlawfully, or as a result of legitimate outlets not being available.

The offence of fly-tipping, and the additional offences of ‘knowingly causing’ or ‘knowingly permitting’ fly-tipping, are set out in Section 33(1)(a) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Section 33 is enforceable by both the Environment Agency and the local authorities.

The penalties for these offences are:
Summary conviction: to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or a fine or both; and
On conviction on Indictment: to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years or a fine or both.

What do they expect when they call it Foul Lane?

Nice pics of the dumping,

The police are too busy with more serious crimes like people doing a maximum of 34mph on a 20 limit road.

It's not the responsibility of the Police to investigate flytipping incidents. It is however their responsibility to stop muppets speeding in built up areas.

Is there a correlation between the location of the fly tipping and that of the tip?

Van permits are required to use the tip
