Zero prosecutions despite Darlington fly-tipping increasing

STRIKING data has revealed no prosecutions have taken place for fly-tipping offences in Darlington for two years, despite a year-on-year increase in reports.
Figures obtained through the Freedom of Information Act reveal 3,267 reports of fly-tipping were reported to Darlington Borough Council between July 1 2020 and June 30 2021. That is an increase of 123 on the previous year and 384 for the same period in 2018-2019.
Data also reveals 20 people were prosecuted for fly-tipping in Darlington between July 1 2018 and June 30 2019, but nobody has been prosecuted in the town since.
The increase in sly-tipping comes at a six-figure cost for the council, as more than £690,000 was spent removing fly-tipped waste in the past three years.
