LORELY BURT MP JOINS CAMPAIGN TO TACKLE FLY TIPPING

5.52.15pm BST (GMT +0100) Thu 26th Apr 2007

Solihull's MP, Lorely Burt has signed her name to a motion in parliament calling on the government to do more to tackle fly-tipping and street rubbish in the town and countryside. The motion is sponsored by Diane Abbott MP and is backed by Keep Britain Tidy and the Countryside Alliance.

Lorely Burt MP said:

Lorely Burt MP

"Clearing up after fly tipping, and cleaning rubbish from the streets costs Solihull Council Taxpayers dearly every year.

"It is a criminal offence to fly tip and litter, but the problem seems to be on the increase. Solihull Council is already cash strapped and it seems so wasteful that so much extra has to be spent each year on cleaning up after people dump their rubbish.

"I have signed up to Diane Abbott's call on Government to step up its campaign against fly-tipping and street rubbish, including working with groups such as Keep Britain Tidy.

Anything that can be done to coerce or persuade people to dispose of their rubbish responsibly must be encouraged."
