CCTV installed to catch fly-tippers at a West Midlands hotspot
New enforcement measures are being installed at a fly-tipping hotspot. Dudley Borough Council said they are ramping up CCTV surveillance and installing bollards at a car park in Clinic Drive in Lye. The area has been blighted by fly-tippers, forcing the council to clear mounds of dumped rubbish a number of times in the past few hope the new bollards, which will plug a gap in wooden railings, will stop larger vehicles from accessing the car park.
Damian Corfield, cabinet member for neighbourhoods, said: "The car park on Clinic Drive has become a hotspot, and as a result we have changed the positioning of a couple of our fixed CCTV cameras so they point directly onto the site."Our message is very clear – we intend to catch the people fly-tipping on this site and make sure they are punished through the courts."
