FLY-tipping continues to be a problem in the Culcheth area – and local councillors have taken action to try and solve it.
The “Look of our Villages” team set up by Conservative members of Culcheth and Glazebury Parish Council targeted a serious case of tipping on a disused car park off Church Lane.
A large number of items were dumped there, including a mattress, child’s buggy, television, Christmas tree, vacuum cleaner and general rubbish.
Nearby residents contacted the team – councillors Keith and Sue Bland, Val Allen and Ileyne Hutchinson. Who made arrangements for the rubbish removed.
Cllr Sue Bland said: “There is a considerable amount and it is an eyesore to anyone passing.
“This is unacceptable dumping of waste on what is private land but in full view of anyone passing.
“I will be contacting the landowners and if necessary Warrington Borough Council to have this rubbish removed as a matter of urgency and have them monitor the site for any future fly tipping”.

Cllrs Blands et al, perhaps there is no money for waste removal given your governments brutal hacking of funds to Councils.
I believe you will find the inclination to fly-tip in Culcheth and elsewhere well beyond the boundaries of Warrington predates any government’s (Tory, Labour, LibCon coalition etc) brutal hacking of funds to councils. That doesn’t mean I support or condone the present government’s level of bhoftoc.
I was commenting on the Bland ones insistence that WBC come an clear up the rubbish on private land as a matter of urgency, not the actual act of fly tipping.
