Fly tippers can now be fined up to £400 on the spot by Wealden District Council's Street Scene Officers.

The council can now issue Fixed Penalty Notices to fly tippers, where appropriate, instead of instigating criminal proceedings.

But, should a person who has been issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice choose not to pay, they can still be prosecuted for the original offence.
