A council has issued a warning to those who "blight" communities as Knowsley residents call for "more respect".
The ECHO has reported on many issues involving fly-tipping right across the region, but here in Knowsley, the issue is "rife". Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of waste and according to the council is "dangerous, damages the environment and costs a huge amount of money to clean up".
New teams were brought in earlier this year who will be patrolling streets across the borough every day and can issue fixed penalty notices of £150 to people caught littering. They can also issue fines to those failing to clean up after their dog or other environmental offences.
