Culprits of the latest fly-tipping in the area have come under fire from the council and could be slapped with a fixed penalty notice of £400.

Thanet District Council say they have those responsible, who 'live nearby', on CCTV and are investigating.

In a tweet this afternoon, the council said: "Disappointing to see another fly-tip on Athelstan Road when our team works hard to keep it clear.

"CCTV shows culprits. We are investigating."

The load was dumped in Athelstan Road, Margate, which includes boards, furniture and nappies.

The council plan on clearing the rubbish tomorrow morning.

Cllr Lin Fairbrass, deputy leader and cabinet member for community services, said: “ Our environmental action team has been working very hard in Cliftonville to improve the street scene in the area.

"They’ve done a fantastic job to date, which includes taking the time to educate residents about being responsible for their own waste.

"In light of these efforts, it’s even more disappointing to see that a few people continue to dispose of their waste irresponsibly.

"We’ll continue to highlight this behaviour as well as communicating these messages in a bid to stop it from persisting.

"Our CCTV footage shows that this waste was dumped by people living nearby.

"Our street scene enforcement officers are investigating and the people responsible for illegally dumping their waste could receive a fixed penalty notice of £400.”

TDC recently condemned flytippers in Cliftonville who dumped more waste hours after one lot was cleared.
