Cumbria tackles waste crime to protect water quality
Sep 17 2009
Illicit operators could be responsible for causing damage to the environment through fly tipping, contaminating land and causing pollution in water courses.
Ernie Davidson, environmental services manager at Allerdale Borough Council, which yesterday issued a warning regarding safety chains at the Maryport promenade, advised businesses and individuals to ensure they are aware of their legal duty of care for the trade waste they produce.
"Without a waste transfer notice, businesses could be fly-tipping waste or using unlicensed disposal sites, which are a nuisance or a health risk to residents," he stated.
PC Adrian Braniff, who spoke on behalf of West Cumbria's Community Safety team, added that the force was pleased to be able to support the agency in making sure the stop checks were carried out safely.
