In the fight against flytipping in Kent, the Clean Kent Campaign has joined forces with the national crime fighting charity Crimestoppers.
 

Fly tipping is unsightly and illegal and is a serious criminal activity with offenders facing prison sentences of up to five years or a maximum fine of £50,000.

Steve Mellers, County Manager of Kent Crimestoppers said, "We are delighted to be working in partnership with the Clean Kent Campaign. Kent Crimestoppers are committed to working with our partners in Kent to tackle and eradicate this serious environmental crime."

Mike Austerberry, Executive Director, Environment, Highways and Waste said, "Fly tipping is a damaging and illegal activity and through the Clean Kent Campaign, local authorities will not hesitate to bring offenders to justice, seeking criminal convictions and financial redress. Kent as a county is to be valued and protected from those engaging in this crime."

Anyone with information about those who commit fly tipping offences, are asked to help Clean Kent catch and prosecute them by calling 0845 345 0210, visit www.cleankent.com  or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111
