The Scottish Liberal Democrats are calling on authorities up and down the country to "clamp down" on fly-tippers after damning data, obtained through the freedom of information act , suggests those illegally dumping rubbish in Scotland manage to avoid any penalty 99 per cent of the time.
New data shows there were 207,960 reports of rubbish being dumped between 2019/20 and 2021/22, but the Scottish Liberal Democrats said just 2,467 fines were handed out.
