We’re used to councils having a pop at private landlords - but now one has praised a landlord for helping to prevent illegal fly-tipping
A fly-tipping hotspot in King’s Lynn has been cleaned up and measures put in place to prevent re-offending, thanks to a landlord.
The area has been cleared and gates have been installed by the landowner, meaning that an alcove where the bins were kept is no longer accessible to anyone except tenants of the adjoining properties.
Councillor Paul Kunes, the council’s cabinet member for the environment, says: “Through a great piece of work by council officers, working with the property owner, we have managed to sort out the immediate problem and put in a long-term solution that will make the street more pleasant for everyone who walks or drives down it.
“It also shows that we won’t stand for fly-tipping and will deal with it where we find it. There is a tip less than three miles away and there is no excuse for dumping rubbish on the street like this.”
Problems had been building up around a bin store which was for the use of tenants living in adjoining properties. Unfortunately, they were not the only people using the bins and the area also started to attract fly-tipping of bulky items – which the council does not remove from private land.
The council says the landlord responded positively to its approach, removing the fly-tipping and installing gates across the front of the area. This has resolved the short-term issue of the fly-tipping itself and provided a long-term solution to prevent problems from re-occurring.
