EA to Investigate Norwich Tyre Tippers

The Environment Agency (EA) and Norwich city council officials are investigating at least six tyre fly-tipping incidents so far this year, two of which involved more than 200 tyres. An EA spokeswoman said told local reporters: “We have been notified of several incidents of dumped tyres. There have been at least three locations, two of which have seen in excess of 200 tyres dumped…If we can locate the people responsible the maximum fine is £50,000.

“We are working through the Norfolk Waste Enforcement Group, involving local authorities and emergency services, to try and find out where these tyres have come from and trace who is responsible for them.”

Norwich City Hall has also reported a rise in tyre dumping in the city, and urged witnesses to any incidents to come forward.
