Fly-tipping, in particular, remains a significant challenge for local authorities with 1,178 incidences of fly-tipping reported in Rossendale last year
Rossendale Council is taking action to tackle environmental crimes by increasing Fixed Penalty Notice fines in line with government recommendations.
Fly-tipping poses a significant environmental hazard, capable of destroying habitats and posing threats to both humans and wildlife. The new measures are designed to discourage such anti-social behaviour and to ensure a cleaner, healthier environment for everyone. Councillor Adrian Lythgoe Lead Member for Environment, emphasised the importance of this initiative saying: “Environmental crimes like fly-tipping and graffiti have far-reaching consequences on our communities. They degrade our natural surroundings, pose health risks and divert valuable resources away from other essential services. By increasing FPN fines, we are sending a clear message that such behaviour will not be tolerated in Rossendale.
