The normal procedure is to for (only) an Enforcement Officer to search a bag for 'material evidence' - (can't give all the secrets away). This proves which property the waste comes from but does not prove who actually deposited the waste. We usually try to interview the suspects and determine what action to take.

This has been succesful and where the Fixed Penalties have not been paid, the offenders are taken to Court.

There is another proceedure for enforcing the use of dustbins. In fact a resident of Springhill Rd. was the first in the county to be prosecuted for not using a bin. She was fined £100 with £40 costs.

The Police have NO involvment in this type of problem. All complaints should be directed to the Helpline on 399988.
