Cameras at fly tipping hot spot

Cameras have been put up at a fly-tipping hot spot in Spalding.

Residents of Ayscough Avenue have long been blighted with rubbish being left stacked at a corner.
Some of them say people put their rubbish out early and that leads to others fly-tipping.
District councillors Mark Le Sage and David Ashby have been campaigning for residents in the road.
“We’ve had so many complaints from residents about fly-tipping and early presentation of bin collecting,” Coun Le Sage said.
“We’ve worked very closely with Coun Anthony Casson to tackle the issue that has blighted the residents for over 14 years.”
The cameras have been put up by Kingdom, the company South Holland District Council has hired to help battle environmental crime.
Coun Anthony Casson portfolio holder for public protection said: “South Holland District Council, in conjunction with our enforcement partner, use targeted CCTV camera equipment as a means of targeting fly-tipping hotspots.
“Cameras are usually temporarily placed as a means of deterring offenders and capturing evidence enabling enforcement action to be taken.
“In residential locations we also ensure residents have been made aware of their legal obligations in respect of disposing of waste, and use other methods such as foot patrols to visibly deter and catch offenders.”
