Four people have been fined a combined £2,100 for illegally dumping waste near Norwich North recycling centre.

Four people have been fined a combined £2,100 for illegally dumping rubbish in fly-tipping hotspots near Norwich North recycling centre. Broadland District Council carried out an undercover operation earlier this year to catch the offenders in villages identified as trouble areas. Another person is being taken to court for repeatedly dumping waste.

Jan Davis, cabinet member for the environment at Broadland District Council, said the council is 'taking robust preventative and enforcement action against fly-tipping' and has three cases being prepared for prosecution against prolific offenders. Three other prolific fly-tippers from Broadland are being prosecuted by the council, while South Norfolk Council is prosecuting two others.

Martyn Hooton, cabinet member for the environment at South Norfolk Council, stated that the council takes the issue 'extremely seriously' and that 'every incident is unacceptable'. However, Ben Goldsborough, Labour MP for South Norfolk, has accused the council of not working with landowners to install cameras at known fly-tipping hotspots.
