Litter - Can you believe this?
Can you believe this? It's from a NPT Council Source
Neath Port Talbot Council spends around £2m per year on clearing up all types of litter, dog fouling, fly tipping and addressing "grot spot" areas. Money that could be put to much better use.
For example including the necessary traffic management it costs around £23,000 each time to litter pick the A465 in the County Borough.
Two additional Enforcement Officers will join our current team of six, to issue on the spot fines and undertake prosecutions with legal colleagues.
This approach is showing results. Recent figures released by the Welsh Government show that Neath Port Talbot came out on top as the highest performing local authority for fly-tipping prosecutions in Wales in 2015/16.
