MP: ‘Garrot’ offenders with intestines to chop fly tipping

Desmond Swayne has recommended drastic motion to chop the variety of fly tipping instances.

The Conservative MP for New Forest West intervened in a Commons debate, saying the present penalties had been inadequate, but when “offenders had been garrotted with their very own intestines” then numbers would fall.

Defra minister Robbie Moore appeared to not take up the suggestion, however mentioned councils had been given powers to impose greater fines to “drive down fly tipping in all council areas”.
