A ditch spanning over three miles has been dug in a Blaenau Gwent fly-tipping hot spot in a bid to prevent vehicles from being used to fly-tip rubbish.
The ditch at Manmoel mountain road has been funded by Caru Cymru and Keep Wales Tidy, and commissioned by @BlaenauGwentCBC
Councillor Helen Cunningham, Executive Member for Place & Environment says:
鈥淭here is no excuse for fly tipping. It is a blight on our beautiful landscape and completely anti-social. We know our residents find it unacceptable too, and as Council we are doing everything we can to prevent it and punish those responsible. This is another tool in our fight against fly-tipping which also includes mobile cameras and covert surveillance.
鈥淚 would also urge anyone paying for rubbish removal to make sure the company they are using is properly licensed and disposing of it correctly, or you could be the one facing the fine."
