Flytippers face maximum fines of £1000 after law change 👮 🚨
North Lincolnshire Council will use new powers to more heavily fine litter louts and fly-tippers.
Anyone caught fly-tipping could face a maximum £1,000 fine, up from £400. Rogue traders who illegally dump household waste will also risk a £600 fine, also up from £400. “Why people continue to think it is acceptable to drop litter in the first-place baffles me but to then expect the taxpayers’ of North Lincolnshire to foot the bill for cleaning up is infuriating. I am pleased the Government has made these new powers available at pace and we will implement the new upper limits at the first available opportunity.
“We have huge swathes of beautiful green space, award winning parks and gardens, and beautiful towns and villages yet some people continue to think that respecting these places and acting responsibly doesn’t apply to them – they may well very quickly change their mind when faced with a £500 fine.”
