Telford and Wrekin Council said in 2022 the money wasted on cleaning up "environmental crimes" could have given residents a 1% council tax cut
The fine for fly-tipping in Telford has been increased in a council crackdown on illegally-dumped waste. Telford and Wrekin Council said feedback from residents suggested its £200 early-payment charge for wrongdoers was too small a deterrent. From the start of February, the sum has gone up to £350, if paid within 10 days of a fine being issued.In that time, it issued 138 fixed penalty notices and more than 270 warning letters.
The government has set the maximum amount for fly-tipping fixed penalty notices at £400, but larger fines may be issued if a case is taken to court.Richard Overton, the councillor responsible for enforcement, said the authority had also introduced further discounts for bulk waste collections, "so there is no excuse for fly-tipping".
