Conservative Controlled Council Calls for Witnesses to Fly Tipping

Conservative controlled Lichfield District Council is calling for witnesses to fly tipping at Little Aston and Lower Stonnall.

The District Council is urging local people to come forward and report incidences of fly tipping in and around Little Aston, if they have seen the culprits in the act of dumping waste illegally.  This follows a rise in fly tipping at Forge Lane in Little Aston and at Hook Lane in Lower Stonnall.

Just in the last month, the council has been called out to clear up after six incidences, where items – such as building rubble, garden and house clearance waste – have been dumped in these areas.

Cllr Louise Flowith, Lichfield District Council’s Cabinet Member for Operational Services, said, “The amount of waste being left across the district seems to be increasing.  It is not only unsightly, it is also expensive to clear up, which is why we’re also encouraging anyone who has seen any fly-tipping in action to report this illegal activity to us so we can investigate.”

To help stamp out fly tipping, report it by calling Lichfield District Council on 01543 308999 or visiting www.lichfielddc.gov.uk/reportit.
