“ Keeping our communities clean is something we all have a part to play in, and these events give residents and councillors the chance to get involved directly.
The trailer provides an opportunity to speak to our teams, raise concerns and find out more about the action being taken on environmental crime. We also want to encourage people to take pride in where they live and help make a difference in their own communities. “
Councillor Nicky Barker, Deputy Leader
Residents are reminded that fly-tipping is a criminal offence and can result in fixed penalty notices, prosecution and the seizure of vehicles used to commit offences.
Environmental crime can be reported online via Walsall Council’s website.
