Fly-tipping and waste crime has a harmful impact on us all, especially our rural areas across Sussex. The most commonly encountered forms of illegal waste include household rubbish, construction materials and discarded white goods. As well as damaging the natural environment, the cost of removing illegally dumped waste can place a considerable burden on local authorities. Private landowners and farmers are expected to foot the bill themselves, which is also unfair.

The government has raised the fine to £5,000 but is this enough? What else could be done to stop this blighting of our countryside? Do let me know your thoughts in the comments section below👇
