Two £500 fines issued after 'lengthy' investigations into fly-tipping in Bridgnorth and Whitchurch

Shropshire Council said two fixed penalty notices (FPNs) have been issued after two "lengthy" investigations by council enforcement officers working with West Mercia Police to trace the culprits.

Officers were able to track down the offenders, one of whom had left the county.

Two members of the public who witnessed the incidents came forward and provided information and official statements which enabled officers to investigate and undertake enforcement action.

Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member with responsibility for environmental maintenance, Dan Morris said: "We are working hard to tackle fly-tipping across the county. To eliminate this blight from our landscape, we all need to play our part in keeping Shropshire clean to enable everyone to love where they live.
