Cllr Graham Cox

**The figures were revealed** in an answer to a question by Westbourne Ward Councillor, Graham Cox, at today’s Full Council meeting.

**The figures are:**

2011-2012 – 1 prosecution

2012-2013 – 1 prosecution

2013-2014 – 0 prosecutions

**Cllr. Cox said:** *“Councillors of all parties receive complaints about fly-tipping on an almost daily basis and it is pretty feeble that the current Administration has been only able to mount 2 prosecutions in the last 3 years and none in the last year, when the problem has been getting worse.*

*“Some locations are subject to repeated fly-tips and it is, therefore, a relatively easy matter to mount observations and catch those responsible. We hope that revealing these figures publicly will encourage the Council to finally take this growing problem seriously.”*
