Officers uplifted large amounts of builders waste, household and domestic rubbish and even several large canisters of corrosive chemicals which had been left in laybys and on vacant ground.
Only last week, Dawn Jamison, the council’s safer communities team leader said the local authority was now considering the use of CCTV cameras to try and catch the culprits and beleaguered residents have now called on the council to speed up that process.

“We have to get proactive rather than reactive in order to send out a message that this behaviour is unacceptable.
“ Otherwise they will just keep coming back time and time again, we have seen that with increasing regularity in recent times especially over the last 12 months.”
