Please do not leave items around the recycling bins in the Park and Ride, in particular the clothing bin. Anything left will be treated as fly tipping.
Fly-tipping is a criminal offence which costs the Borough Council thousands of pounds to clean up. It can also be a hazard to local people and wildlife, and is a real blight on the environment. Fly-tipping can be punished with a maximum fine of £50,000, or a 12 month prison sentence if convicted by a Magistrates Court.
The Council will continue to use CCTV to identify vehicles and individuals involved in fly tipping. Fixed Penalty Notices and Prosecutions are already being issued and pursued with regard to fly tipping in Great Denham Park and Ride.
The Borough Council is using footage from CCTV cameras and it will be posted on the Council’s ‘Caught on Camera’ webpage at www.bedford.gov.uk/caughtoncamera. If you recognise a vehicle or an individual, you can let the Council know on that webpage. This will assist the Council in deciding if an offence has been committed.
