\n Bracknell Forest Council has issued an appeal for the public’s help in tracking down the people responsible for dumping rubbish in the neighbourhoods of Winkfield and Warfield.\n<\/p>\n
\n The Winkfield incident saw bags of tiles, soil, piping, and general building waste abandoned in the Woodside area, likely from a bathroom or kitchen renovation.\n<\/p>\n

\n The Winkfield fly-tip happened between Sunday, January 25, and the early hours of Monday, January 26.\n<\/p>\n
\n Another fly-tipping dump happened barely a day later in Warfield on the night of January 27-28, with bags of rubbish discarded along Bishops Lane.\n<\/p>\n

\n The Warfield waste also appears to have come from a house renovation.\n<\/p>\n
\n The Public Protection Partnership (PPP), who work with the council to deliver services relating to environmental health, licensing and trade standards, stressed that fly-tipping “is not a victimless crime”.\n<\/p>\n
\n The PPP told Bracknell News fly-tipping “damages our environment, poses serious risks to public health and wildlife, and costs taxpayers thousands of pounds every year in clean-up and enforcement costs”.\n<\/p>\n
\n They added: “Illegal dumping blights communities, undermines local pride, and diverts resources away from essential public services.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We urge everyone to dispose of waste responsibly and report fly-tipping to help keep our area clean and safe. Those found guilty of fly-tipping can face fines and\/or a prison sentence.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Following the double string of fly-tipping, Bracknell Forest Council is appealing to anyone who was driving in either area and may have seen people carrying or offloading the materials to please get in touch.\n<\/p>\n
\n Anyone with information can contact the Public Protection Partnership, who are working with the council to tackle the issue, on 01635 503242 or by emailing ehadvice@westberks.gov.uk.\n<\/p>\n
