Harborough Council Boosts Fly-Tipping Penalties

Harborough District Council in Leicestershire is stepping up its fight against fly-tipping with a significant increase in fines, from £400 to £1000. This move, part of their budget process, aims to deter illegal dumping. The council, along with local MP Alberto Costa, is taking a collaborative approach, involving the police and Environment Agency. Theyre also gathering data on hot-spots and boosting operational resources for quicker investigation and removal. A recent incident on Ashby Road underscored the urgent need for these measures.
