Taxpayers spending millions of pounds each year to clean blighted communities, MP warns

Tory MP Selaine Saxby said it is an “intrinsically conservative value” to take pride in local communities.


She added: “Unfortunately, fly-tippers and persistent litterers can leave scars on our community, with people feeling disenfranchised rather than proud in their area.


“Indeed, fly-tipping can not only ruin people’s enjoyment of outdoor areas, but also upset and affect the local environment and wildlife.”


The government has clamped down on this blight to communities by increasing the fines for littering from £400 to £1,000.


Ms Saxby said: “Fly-tipping still remains an all too common problem, and further, tougher methods should be explored.”
