------We have had two incidents of fly tipping in Sandleheath Rd over the last year or so.

1. a fridge was left on the island outside the village pond, at the time the road was being dug up for a new water main and the contractors very kindly agreed to dispose of it for us. 2. a few sacks of rubbish were deposited by the old railway bridge, I found an address on a couple of items and phoned the council giving the details and advising I had an address. After much persuasion the sent out a couple of chaps in a open backed vehicle to collect. I showed them the evidence suggesting this should all be recorded and action taken against the householder ( resident), they said it was a waste of time, threw it all in the back and drove off.

Ask the DWP to stop putting out propaganda saying there is no separate reports One of the problems we have problem, which is untrue. already. experienced in trying to resolve this issue is that it take place in locations which are said to be private land. Unfortunately the public have access to these places and often do not understand the distinction, especially as different agencies are responsible for clearance.

For example, in Boundary Lane, which runs from the A31 to Matchams, there are several locations where fly tipping frequently takes place. Starting from the southern end, there is a car park about 200 mtrs from the A31. This is owned by the Forestry Commission who clear it. This location is often littered with MacDonalds material. When the Avon Heath is reached, there is a layby close to the car scrapyard where black sacks, plasterboard, asbestos, TVs and tyres are left. This is believed to be owned by DDC Avon Heath, but often cleared by DWP. The Avon Heath Rangers also clear the car park at the Matchams end of Boundary Lane, and the DWP remove what is left on the verges. The major tipping takes place sometimes on several consecutive nights. Matchams Viewpoint and Wattons Lane are problem areas. The Rangers clear the car park. The DWP clears Wattons Lane, but only what is on the highway or verges. The rubbish that has rolled down the embankment into the woodland generally remains there.

Ringwood Service Road is also an issue as vehicles pull off the A31 and use the laybys between Woolsbridge Road and the footbridge opposite St Ives End Lane. The litter varies between takeaway litter and various household rubbish items. The road is unlit and the laybys unobserved.

Annoyingly, the DWP often say in their press releases that there is ‘no fly tipping problem’. This is untrue and probably because they are only logging incidents which they are responsible for clearing up.

There appears to be little or no co-operation or coordination between the DWP, Environment Agency, the DCC at Avon Heath, Forestry Commission or the Police. Consequently the problem is serious and ongoing with no single point of contact for members of the public top report incidents.

In addition to the above, members of the public are reporting that large quantities of litter are being thrown from vehicles travelling to events at Matchams Stadium. The roads most affected are Matchams Lane, Hurn Lane and Boundary Lane. The layby in Hurn Lane between Avon Avenue and Davids lane on the East bound carriage way is extremely close to the A338 builders debris, and garden waste is often dumped here whether it is from cars using the A338 or Hurn Road is unclear.

The fines set although there is not evidence to support that the by the courts have recently been increased removal is responsible for the decline to up to £95,000 but how effective this has been as a deterrent I do not know. Predictably, I could also say that more staff would help in both the investigations and the removal of flytipping.
