Vehicle used in fly-tipping across South Bristol & over the border in Keynsham has been seized and crushed.
Neighbourhood Enforcement Officers carried out investigations into fly-tipping reported at several locations across Bristol, including Hengrove, Brislington, Hartcliffe and Stockwood, during January and February this year. With colleagues from Bath & North East Somerset Council also assisting with enquiries due to offences committed in Keynsham area.
