Fly tippers have been out again this time dumping paint and brushes in a ditch in Pool Hey Lane Scarisbrick.

Fly tipping is an unsightly and dangerous problem and costs council tax payers money to clear away.

WLBC treat this problem very seriously and will usually prosecute anyone caught fly tipping waste in the borough. Dumping household, industrial and commercial waste illegally is a serious criminal offence that carries a fine of up to £50,000, offenders can even be sent to prison.
