“It’s dead easy come round here at night and dump stuff, even in the day,” explained Andy Beal, “I’ve seen people driving vans and they have dumped all their stuff out.”<\/p>\n
He lives in one of Oxfordshire’s largest housing estates and said fly-tipping around the area has become a regular occurrence because “it’s dead easy”. <\/p>\n
Beal, who lives in Blackbird Leys, Oxford, said fly-tipping was not an issue when he first moved to the area, but it had “got worse over the years”.<\/p>\n
He said local authority measures, including fees to have large waste collected from homes, were “putting barriers in front of people” who were trying to properly dispose of waste.<\/p>\n
His comments come as Oxford City Council announce plans to crackdown on fly-tipping, including introducing free collection for bulky waste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“It’s dead easy come round here at night and dump stuff, even in the day,” explained Andy Beal,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":444525,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1397,90,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-444524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-environment","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=444524"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444524\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/444525"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=444524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=444524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=444524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
