Fly-tippers should face tougher financial penalties to deter repeat offenders from dumping waste in Glasgow.
The maximum £200 fixed penalty fine is thought to be too little, particularly for “rogue firms” who are illegally disposing of materials.
Recently we highlighted residents’ anger at a disused railway line that has turned into an eyesore fly-tipping site in Parkhouse in the north of the city.Councillor Kelly has written to justice secretary Angela Constance asking for greater enforcement powers. “I’m asking the Scottish Government to look again at the levels of fines issued for fly-tipping. They haven’t been revisited since 2014 and a significant increase in both"I know our hard-working staff who are on the frontline dealing with what is criminal behaviour want to see tougher action and enforcement on this matter. As do citizens I speak with who are often impacted directly by this disgusting behaviour. But we need tougher sanctions to properly tackle this scourge.
