Only 1.38 per cent of more than 975,000 incidents nationally resulted in fixed penalty notices. Fly-tipping incidents in the Reading borough in that time included a mountain of mattresses being dumped near to the Thames Promenade. Caversham councillor Richard Davies said at the time: "Whoever left this pile of rubbish at Thames Promenade, the people of Reading will happily pay to clean up your mess." No no, whoever left this pile of rubbish at Thameside Promenade, the people of Reading will happily pay to clean up your mess. In the mean time, it's lovely to see your detritus when we're cycling along the riverbank �� pic.twitter.com/a2lwO5Q7ki
