Stop the drop

Cllr. Jill Finlan said that fly tipping is a serious problem in this area, with Astrope Lane being particularly vulnerable because it is so isolated. Many villagers walk their dogs in the vicinity of Astrope Lane, and she urged them to be on the alert for suspicious activity, particularly vans stopped in the lane. Details of vehicles seen fly tipping should be reported to the police. The problem is costing council tax payers a lot of money. Recently eight tons of fly-tipped rubble had to be removed from Tring Road, Wilstone, by Dacorum Borough Council.
