🚫 THE TAXIWAY IS NOT A DUMPING GROUND
Following my post about fly-tipping at Hutton Moor Lane, I'm out again highlighting issues in my ward that need to be addressed.
This time, I'm at the Taxiway which is becoming the unofficial rubbish tip of ...Weston-super-Mare.
I've regularly requested action on this issue, so now I'm doing it publicly.
I'm calling on North Somerset Council to:
1️⃣ Install CCTV at the site
2️⃣ Completely clear up the area
3️⃣ Oppose the request to change the planning condition about responsibility to secure the gate
Fly-tipping is a crime and it's us as council tax payers who foot the bill for the clean up.
📢 REPORT IT: If you've spotted fly-tipping in the area then report to: https://n-somerset.gov.uk/.../street-cleaning/fly-tipping
✅ Update on the Hutton Moor Lane fly-tipping: I've been informed it'll be cleared up and the gate re-secured.

Recently at Weston-super-Mare Town Council we froze the town precept and the picture below provides an overview of how every £1 is spent.
Weston Town Council is a parish/town council not to be confused with North Somerset Council (which sets council tax)
👎HUTTON MOOR LANE - FLY-TIPPING
I’ve repeatedly asked the council for a more permanent and secure fix for the old golf course site gate at Hutton Moor Lane. A temporary fix isn't cutting it, and now someone has taken advantage and fly-tipped.
It's incredibly ...frustrating to see the local area treated this way by low-life fly-tippers with no respect for our community. I'll be raising the need for sustainable security at this site again with the council, and reporting the fly-tipping to be cleared.

FYI - I'm aware of the Taxiway fly-tipping and I'm working on that.
