Cabinet member for highways and street scene cllr Nick Holder said: “We have a zero-tolerance approach to fly-tipping here in Wiltshire and have invested heavily in prevention, enforcement and awareness.

“We have employed more officers to fine and prosecute fly-tippers via investigations into these criminal offences and proactively utilise our network of both covert and overt cameras installed around the county to catch environmental criminals in the act.

“Our award-winning We’re Targeting Fly-tippers (WTF) campaign has already seen a huge fall in the number of fly-tips reported to us, and we have also more than doubled the number of fixed penalty notices we have issued and the number of successful prosecutions for fly-tipping.
