Fly Tipping - Not Just Bags of Rubbish

Are you aware that fly tipping isn't just bags of rubbish or that unwanted satellite dish? Unfortunately our lovely parishioners are just as guilty of fly tipping as strangers coming in to the parish, and it costs everyone money. South Hams District Council come to collect anything that's fly tipped on public land and yes you're paying them through your council tax to do it.

Even putting your garden waste over a hedge or wall on to land that you don't own is also considered fly tipping. You might think it's harmless because it rots down, but in the meantime it can harm animals as many garden cuttings are poisonous or dangerous to grazing animals (including grass cuttings). They can also cause a hazard to humans or vehicles or are simply unsightly.

Lets keep our parish looking the best it can and protect our beautiful animals and wildlife.

Remember Fly-tipping is a criminal offence punishable by a fine of up to £50,000 or 12 months imprisonment if convicted in a Magistrates' Court. The offence can attract an unlimited fine and up to 5 years imprisonment if convicted in a Crown Court. There are also a number of other possible penalties, including fixed penalty notices and having a vehicle seized.

News & General Information

Speeding Vehicles in Traine Road, Wembury

There appears to be an increase in vehicles driving far too fast along Traine Road in Wembury. The road is narrow with many blind bends and fast moving vehicles are a danger to pedestrians, horses and the drivers themselves. Please avoid driving along Traine Road unless you have to. If you have to, then please drive slowly and be aware of other people and animals that may also be using the road. Please eliminate this dangerous practice.
