Instead of closing, how about proper width restrictions to stop large lorries driving down them.

Yes small Vans will still be able to fly tip, but it will prevent a container loads being dumped.

It’s good to know this is getting consideration but I just fear they would go and tip in another location without the access restrictions.

In reply to Sacha. That would be an ideal scenario, unfortunately the gangs who are responsible for these huge fly tips use false number plates or stolen vehicles. Having said that, when they are caught it is important that the punishments handed down are far more tougher than at present.

How about actually doing something to catch the people that dump, rather then ruining it for the locals by closing the roads? There has been no cameras to stop it, yet the amount it costs to clear the rubbish, you could’ve installed cameras and caught the perpetrators by now..
