Petition details

- Make resources available to install CCTV in order to apprehend and/or deter fly-tipping offenders.
- Examine and implement a suitable and appropriate scheme to restrict vehicle access into the cul-de-sac.

The continuous fly-tipping is proving a serious environmental issue affecting the daily operations of residents and business through the impacting on health and safety from the encouragement of vermin, the unacceptable disposal and abandonment of hazardous materials and the general unkempt nature of the visual amenity.
