Fly Tipping problem in Southport town centre

Someone has dumped a sofas on the pavement and another two outside the Southport Centre For The Deaf on stanley Street, Sunday 9 September 2018.

A large amount of tipping is committed by people who simply can’t be bothered to take their rubbish to the local tip.

Rubbish that is dumped on private land is the responsibility of the landowner to clear it up – and pay for it.

Any person or company fly tipping waste is committing a serious offence potentially punishable by an unlimited fine and/or up to five years in prison dependant upon the type of waste involved.
