I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Rubbish/ litter, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey. Following your reports of fly tipping at the HALO, Haslingden we have some good news.
Lancashire Police have been working with Rossendale Borough Council over the last few months and on Monday 1st June, a male caught fly tipping at the HALO was handed a an 8 month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months and ordered to pay costs totalling £1553.
We will not tolerate fly tipping and there are consequences to those that choose to do this.
Thanks
Rural Task Force
![]() Here are five reasons why we should not litter: Impact on Wildlife: Litter can harm animals by trapping or poisoning them, and it can also kill aquatic life through choking and water quality degradation. Costs of Cleaning Up: Littering incurs significant cleanup costs, which can burden local governments and taxpayers. Human Health and Safety: Litter can pose health risks, creating hazards in public spaces and potentially leading to injuries. Environmental Contamination: Litter can contaminate soil and water, leading to long-term environmental damage. Aesthetic Appeal: Litter detracts from the beauty of our surroundings, affecting community pride and tourism.
By reducing littering, we can protect wildlife, save money, enhance public health, and preserve our environment.
