A senior Sefton councillor has said fly-tipping action in the borough “needs to improve” after a “disappointing” lack of enforcement.
Cabinet member Cllr Paulette Lappin made the remarks at a meeting of Sefton Council’s regeneration and skills scrutiny committee held yesterday, March 7.
Providing an update on the effectiveness of the council’s enforcement strategy, Cllr Lappin referred to a recent ECHO report following an FOI submitted by Green campaigner and candidate Neil Doolin which revealed only five fines had been issued for fly-tipping across the whole of the borough last year.
