Second fly-tip in a week hits city golf course

Fly-tippers have hit a golf course in Derby for the second time in a week.

A dump at Derby Golf Course, in Sinfin, including soil, an oil can, plastic sheets, takeaway wrappers and carrier bags was visited by Derby City Council officers on Tuesday.

The council said the waste was being cleared and investigations were ongoing.

The fly-tip comes a week after another incident at the site's entrance where a sofa, mattresses and bin bags were left.

The council said "enforcement action is ongoing" over the tipping on 8 July.

A spokesperson for Derby City Council said: "We are committed to tackling environmental crime which negatively impacts our city and places a financial burden on taxpayers.

"Fly-tipping is an offence, and anyone convicted could face an unlimited fine and up to five years' imprisonment."

They added residents should report incidents by calling 01332 642020 or using the council's website.
