NEW ! "THERE'S NO EXCUSE !"

This is a new from http://www.portsmouth.co.uk.

Mountains of mess being dumped on our streets and beauty spots are costing council's thousands to clean up.

In Gosport, there were 595 reports of fly-tipping in the last 12 months compared to 840 reports the year before.

Fareham saw 404 reported incidents, down from 563, which coast taxpayers around 22,000 pounds to clean up.

Cllr Graham Burgess, the clairman of Gosports Borough Council's community board, said "Fly-tipping is on the decrease in Gosport because people give us information and it's because of that we are able to respond so quickly.
