Dumpers At "Horrific" Newbridge Rubbish Blackspot To Face Court Instead Of Fines Under New Crackdown

The owner management company, a CCTV expert, the local litter warden, and the management company met this week to discuss solutions.

Efforts to combat illegal dumping at Ramblers Court in Newbridge have advanced with the implementation of new measures, including dumpers heading straight to court  for prosecution rather than being issued with a fine.

The owner management company, a CCTV expert, the local litter warden, and the management company met this week to discuss solutions.

Social Democrats Cllr Chris Pender, who also attended the meeting, said two key actions were confirmed.

One solution will include the implementation of a technological solution to prevent illegal dumping.

The adoption of a zero-tolerance prosecution policy will also be implemented.

This will mean that rather than issuing fines, those engaging in dumping at the site will be brought to court.
