Days after it was revealed Liverpool Council is to crackdown harder on environmental crime flytippers have been spotted dumping in the north of the city.
Earlier this week, the ECHO reported how the local authority is creating a highly visible, dedicated taskforce to tackle environmental crime across Liverpool. A document published ahead of the council’s neighbourhoods committee meeting next week has revealed that a team of six officers will be deployed to get stuck in with a “targeted approach” focusing on known problem areas in the city as it looks to adopt a streamlined approach across its neighbourhoods directorate.
The council said it had seen successes in shaming those responsible for environmental crime and has taken to social media today to shine an online spotlight on offenders once again. A screenshot of CCTV footage showed a driver of a white van seeming to throw waste over a fence in Old Swan.
