Fourteen members of the public have been successfully prosecuted for a number of environmental crimes across the city.
Doug Sharp, assistant city manager for Streetscene, said:
This month we prosecuted 14 offenders for committing crimes that were deemed to be causing a detrimental effect on the environment.
Fly-tipping is a criminal offence, and we will not tolerate it. Fly-tipping blights neighbourhoods, is hazardous to people, animals and the environment.
We always encourage members of the public not to shrink from reporting any perpetrators they see, as every little detail is valuable in helping us to secure a successful prosecution.
Dumping is a crime, help us and make those who do it pay for it. See it, report it, stop it.
