Some of the fly-tipping incidents that have plagued Monk Sherborne recently. A couple have expressed their disappointment at the council's action on fly-tipping in rural parts of Basingstoke and Deane. The couple, who wish not to be named, have noticed several incidents of waste being dumped around Monk Sherborne in recent weeks. It has happened roughly once a week since Easter and they say they have photographic evidence of the tips and the vehicles responsible, and that the council has not taken action. Building waste, fences, cut up conifer trees and household goods are among the items dumped. But they have declined to go to court to give evidence as they are fearful of retribution from the perpetrators.
