Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The proposed changes are part of a wider zero-tolerance approach to address rubbish dumping across the district. Council leaders stated that the increases aim to send a clear message that environmental crime will not be tolerated, as these issues continue to cost taxpayers money.
