Local Council Sets Up Dumped Tyre Hotline

Dumped tyres are becoming the bugbear of environmental officials in Louth and Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire. But East Lindsey District Council will not be defeated and has a plan to curb the fly-tipping of tyres. The council has teamed up with Lincolnshire Police and the Environment Agency to tackle the problem, and are calling on the public for information. “We need to know who is responsible for the dumping of these piles of tyres,” said East Lindsey’s head of environmental services Pat Fowler.

Dozens of tyres are being left at unauthorised spots across the district during the past month, including North Holmes Road, Louth; Rossa Lane, Trusthorpe; Upgate, Louth; and the Bluestone Heath Road, Louth.
Anyone who witnesses the tyres being dumped is urged to call the freephone fly-tipping hotline, 0800 195 5228, with the registration number of any vehicle used. The people behind the hotline say all information will be treated in confidence.
