When is Rother District Council (RDC) going to crack down on illegal fly tipping at the recycling point at Rye swimming pool? These photos were taken on three consecutive evenings in the past week.
There is a notice saying “No fly tipping, maximum fine £50,000”, which is nonsense, as these people know there is no monitoring of the site.
I was under the impression, obviously wrongly, that recycling was moved to this site because there was CCTV in the swimming pool car park.
I was told by a contractor previously clearing the site that it was cheaper for Rother to pay for his work than to enforce the regulations. Surely there is no moral justification for this attitude. If fly tipping has no comeback it encourages other people to believe it is acceptable.
Presumably, as a ratepayer, along with all other RDC ratepayers, I am paying for contractors to clear this site, and feel my money would be better spent in deterring the offence before it happens.
