Two people have been prosecuted for fly-tipping - and 44 fixed penalty notices have been issued for rubbish dumped in part of Nottinghamshire. The notices have been issued by Newark and Sherwood District Council.
Of those 44 notices, 28 have been for fly-tipping and three have been for vehicles being abandoned. These figures are for the months of January and February 2022. The local authority's aim is to crackdown on environmental offences and residents are urged to be cautious when using third parties to dispose of their waste.
Photos have been released of some of the incidents dealt with. One incident saw dozens of bricks dumped in a country lane along with wooden crates.
