30. Fly Tipping and Littering
To reduce the amount of fly tipping and littering in Ross-on-Wye and ensure that when it does occur it is promptly dealt with.
The over whelming response (95%) was in favour of fly tipping being dealt with swiftly and deterred. The most popular means of achieving this were to ask Ross Town Council to provide a better clear-up service within the existing Council Tax (33%), request the police to spend more on enforcement (31%), and request Herefordshire Council to spend more on clearing-up (11%). The perception here seems to be that Ross Town Council should have responsibility for fly tipping when it actually falls under Herefordshire Council.
