Bolsover District Council (BDC) is continuing to clamp-down on environmental crime, issuing another £200 fixed penalty notice for fly-tipping in Astwith.
Fly-tipped waste was found on Astwith Lane in June. The rubbish contained evidence that allowed BDC to trace it back to its original address in Edwinstowe.

Cabinet member for the environment, Councillor Anne Clarke, said: “It’s an absolute disgrace. And to add insult to injury, the waste was also dumped right under one of our posters that clearly says fly-tipping is a crime. A few mindless and inconsiderate people are spoiling the area for the rest of us."
