Patrick Commissioners 'disappointed' at amount of fly tipping occurring in parish

Chair Gordon Clague says it's 'got to stop' because it's 'ruining' the countryside

The chair of Patrick Commissioners says the amount of fly tipping occurring across the parish is 'disappointing'. 

Gordon Clague believes over the last few months there have been four instances of fridge freezers left at Niarbyl, along with windows, sofas and television sets in other locations. 

Fly tipping is a criminal offence and those caught can receive a fine from £2,500 up to a maximum of £5,000.

Mr Clague says the local authority takes the problem 'seriously' and every incident is reported to the police.
