Sefton Council has been slammed for leaving areas “like a war zone” after only issuing five fixed penalty notices for fly tipping in the whole of 2022.
Green campaigner and Green party candidate for Church ward Neil Doolin said people felt “let down” by the lack of action over fly tipping in the borough and was concerned at the lack of enforcement action revealed in an FOI he submitted to Sefton Council earlier this year.
In an FOI response shared with the ECHO, Sefton Council confirmed it had only issued five fines to people for dumping rubbish on the borough’s streets in 2022.
