A dedicated team that was created to tackle fly-tipping in Blaenau Gwent is already bringing numbers of incidents down in the area, figures show.
Blaenau Gwent Council’s Community Services Scrutiny committee praised the fly-tipping enforcement team's activity on the 2021/22 report, and say they will continue to support the waste regulation work of the front line enforcement service.
The new team which has been in operation since September 2021 is said to have provided a more co-ordinated approach to dealing with illegal accumulations of waste in town centres, as well as targeting both rural and semi-rural settings.
