Disappointment over fine handed to fly-tipper caught dumping piles of waste on rural road
A council has expressed its disappointment over a fine imposed on a man who was caught dumping waste on a rural road.
However, Rossendale Borough Council has now slammed the penalty, which it says 'fails to reflect the seriousness of the offence and its impact on the community and environment'. A council investigation linked Mr Wright to the fly-tipping of the waste, which was traced back to an address in Rawtenstall, Lancs Live reports.He had been hired by the family of a deceased occupier from Hammer Avenue to dispose of the waste.
The council said the fine handed out by the court 'does not serve as a sufficient deterrent for such environmental crimes' but vowed to continue to take action against fly-tippers. “The consequences of illegal waste disposal are far-reaching and not only blight our beautiful valley but can also affect the well-being of our residents.”

Lysosomal acidification dysfunction in microglia: an emerging pathogenic mechanism of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration - Journal of NeuroinflammationMicroglia are the resident innate immune cells in the brain with a major role in orchestrating immune responses. They also provide a frontline of host defense in the central nervous system (CNS) through their active phagocytic capability. Being a professional phagocyte, microglia participate in phagocytic and autophagic clearance of cellular waste and debris as well as toxic protein aggregates, which relies on optimal lysosomal acidification and function. Defective microglial lysosomal acidification leads to impaired phagocytic and autophagic functions which result in the perpetuation of neuroinflammation and progression of neurodegeneration. Reacidification of impaired lysosomes in microglia has been shown to reverse neurodegenerative pathology in Alzheimer’s disease. In this review, we summarize key factors and mechanisms contributing to lysosomal acidification impairment and the associated phagocytic and autophagic dysfunction in microglia, and how these defects contribute to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. We further discuss techniques to monitor lysosomal pH and therapeutic agents that can reacidify impaired lysosomes in microglia under disease conditions. Finally, we propose future directions to investigate the role of microglial lysosomal acidification in lysosome–mitochondria crosstalk and in neuron–glia interaction for more comprehensive understanding of its broader CNS physiological and pathological implications.
