Fines for fly tipping? Not in St Helens


Councillor Carole Kavanagh recommends giving fly tippers a second chance. As long as people go back and clear up their rubbish after they've been caught, there will be no fines.

If this isn't a fly tipper's charter, then nothing is. Fly tippers, you now have the freedom of St Helens. And if you're caught, merely say sorry and clear it up, and you won't be fined.

fly tippers should get NO BLOODY CHANCES!!!!! Keep their rubbish to themselves and dispose of it properly...not on our streets and parks.

this council is so keen to catch the culprits of this disgraceful act,that they havent contacted myself yet (and it is now sunday) for the information that i collected at the scene of the crime
the information is good it includes the manufactures names job numbers and even the names of the people whose propeties they were originally installed in.now come on carol you are the executive member for this department,i know my phone has been passed onto the council so get your act together because you are also one of the councillors for this ward . p.s. i wonder what the decision would be if (as you should) get a result because the culprits cant go back and clear this one up.mm i wonder??
if anybody has any information whatsoever on this incedent please ring the contact numbers in the star but could you also pass it on to myself via this site .thanks roy

it is now 05/01/07,friday evening i have just read the article in the star with reference to the fly-
tipping carr mill dam.i have taken into account the comments made by councillor kavanagh and for the life of me cannot understand why moving two potentially dangerous gas canisters away from an area,could in any way "contaminate"
evidence that was written in black
felt tip pen on a number of dumped
window frames.what a cheap (attempted)trick to try and deflect the fact that the council and its officers acted in a very
unprofessional manner,oh i bet the culprits are laughing thier socks off ,shame on you councillor.can i just ask you one question
because i know you visit this site
(we know because of the complaints)
how would you have responded,(1)as i did and took all the details from the scene,then removed the gas
canisters 300 yds away from the scene and by doing so took away the possibility of an explosion if the pile of tyres were set on fire
which they were that evening,or (2)
left the area as it was and hope that your council officer could come along 4 days later expecting the pile of tyres ect to be there waiting for him to examine ???
i dont think that the voting public would need to think long and hard about that one.
ps,i will be putting the evidence in the public domain a soon as possibble,nice try carol.and lets be honest it is now council policy
not to prosecute the first time you "get caught" fly tipping not my words are they but the words of the executive member for this department.
