Thorney Farmer calls for urgent action on fly-tipping!

Government’s figures show that Peterborough has the highest number of fly-tipping incidents per person in the region.

The City Council's patch had 46 recorded fly-tipping incidents per 1,000 people – a total 10,128 incidents – in 2023-2024. That's nearly 200 a week!

Farmer William Stevenson says he experiences up to five fly-tipping incidents a week on his arable farm near the city, with everything from cannabis production waste, asbestos, furniture, tyres, fridges and toys dumped on his land.
