A NEW innovative system is being used by a local council to help catch illegal waste dumpers more effectively. Calderdale Council has launched an interactive map allowing people to drop a pin on a specific location where they have spotted fly-tipping. This registers a report and instantly alerts the relevant officers to the issue and allows the council to see hot spots , so efforts can be directed to these areas. This could even mean catching the culprits in action. The map system also allows other residents to see where issues have already been reported, minimising duplication and reducing the risk of manpower hours being used to investigate the same problem separately.
UNINSURED drivers and abandoned vehicles are being targeted by police and the council. Cumbria Police and South Lakeland District Council have ramped up their efforts to identify those behind abandoning vehicles in Hallgarth, Kendal, during the last few weeks. Police said the vehicles had been cluttering car parks, grassed areas and highways in the area. “There is still much work to be done regarding trailers and caravans outside residents houses taking up valuable parking spaces and causing tensions in the community and anti-social behaviour, said a spokesman. “We will continue to work with a multi agency approach to resolve the issues.”
