Influencers fight fly tipping in Wales as figures rise

Broken down by local authority, Newport had the most fly-tipping incidents – more than 8,100 and up 30% on the year before.

The council said it had undertaken “preventative actions” to try and tackle the problem, including more CCTV in hotspots and increasing patrols by council officers.

Yvonne Forsey, cabinet member for climate change and biodiversity, said the increase in incidents “has been matched by a corresponding increase in our action we have taken, which is in contrast to the picture across Wales as a whole”.

She added: “It is a blight on the environment and our city and we will continue to take a zero-tolerance approach to dealing with it.”
