A road in Burntwood has been blocked after fly-tippers dumped rubbish on it.
Waste including window frames, paperwork and chairs were left on The Roche.
Cllr Rob Birch, chairman of Burntwood Town Council, said he hoped those responsible could be caught.
“Another load of rubbish dumped in the lanes between Lichfield and Burntwood – it is absolutely disgusting.
“Hopefully, there is enough detail in the dumped paperwork to hold those responsible to account.”
Cllr Rob Birch
People can report fly-tipping or provide information about offences atwww.lichfielddc.gov.uk/report or by calling 01543 308999.
If anyone is ‘held responsible and bought to account’
I’ll eat my hat
If by any chance the culprits are caught then their vehicle should be confiscated and crushed as well as a fine.
What these imbeciles do is absolutely disgusting and should be harshly dealt with. the reality is they will probably just get a slapped wrist
If the police ever drove round the streets, they would potentially see a number of these fly tippers. I have seen many trucks that are filled dangerously, either with scrap metal or overflowing with rubbish.
It is probably another of those issues, the police see as a council issue. The council see as a police issue. So nothing is ever done.
After I reported it the staff from LDC were very quick in responding and the road was cleared the same day. They did an excellent job but it is a shame they needed to in the first place.
Unfortunately this area is one that sees fairly regular fly tipping so this could well happen again.
It is not just the person dumping the rubbish to blame but also the people who pay them to take it away.
If you have waste to dispose of then make sure you are doing it at the local tip or commission a licensed waste carrier to do it on your behalf.
If the rubbish is traced back to you then you could also be prosecuted even if you didn’t dump it yourself.
Couldn’t agree more with Cllr Birch.
If anyone has any information regarding this crime please report to the police.
Remember it’s your council tax that has to pay for this to be cleared.
This time and every time.
