A SNP councillor has welcomed extra funding to tackle fly-tipping and has hit out at the Labour Group in South Lanarkshire for voting against proposals.
The recent budget saw £682k earmarked over a two-year period to tackle the serious issue which is a blight on communities across the area.
Investment will address four specific challenges: food waste in rural areas – hot composter project; recycling in tenement properties and fly-tipping in both rural and urban areas.
