Fly-tipping continues to plague towns across East Lancashire despite the region leading on enforcement action.
Fly-tipping continues to plague towns across East Lancashire, with Blackburn particularly affected by illegal dumping. Despite enforcement action in the borough being among the highest in the country, the issue persists. One recent incident involved a fly-tipper being issued a fixed penalty notice after 20 bags of waste were dumped on Wolseley Street in Blackburn.
The council is tackling the problem through a dedicated £505,000 plan. Local officials acknowledge that fly-tipping is getting out of hand in the region despite these enforcement efforts and financial investment.
