Bradford Council is looking to introduce new measures to help combat fly tipping, with a new scheme set to be proposed at a council meeting next week.
The council has proposed that in an effort to deter people from fly tipping, they have a fleet of mobile cameras installed in order to capture the license plates of the offenders.
At a meeting of the full Council next Tuesday, members will be asked to back the £100,000 a year scheme that will also see fly tipping hotspots blocked off to traffic by the installation of bunds, fences or bouldering.
Speaking on the issue, Councillor Sarah Ferriby said: “We will not tolerate people dumping rubbish and blighting our landscapes.
“Fly-tipping is never acceptable, it is selfish, it’s harmful to the environment and it is costing taxpayers in England more than £57 million a year to clear up – money that could be spent on vital public services.
“We are sending out the message that the law will catch up with you if you do not play by the rules.”
Figures released last year revealed that over 45 incidents were reported each day in Bradford in the 2018/19 financial year.
