That's despite the council saying it deals with 3,000 incidents of fly-tipping every year
A town in Greater Manchester has not prosecuted a single person for fly-tipping over the past two years, a freedom of information request has revealed.
One FPN was issued for littering in 2021/22, and none in 2022/23. Stockport had been run by a Labour minority administration between 2016 and 2022, until the Liberal Democrats took control, as as a minority administration, in May 2022 under Coun Mark Hunter. Coun Gary Lawson, leader of Stockport Greens, said: "Fly tipping is a problem, I think we should be doing more to tackle it. Fines and prosecutions are not the only thing we could be doing with this, we should make it easier for people to dispose of waste."
