Wiltshire Council has issued a £400 fixed penalty notice (FPN) to a Swindon resident who paid an unlicenced person to dispose of their domestic waste. The waste was subsequently fly-tipped in a layby in Winterbourne Monkton, near the Avebury World Heritage Site, and was inspected by Environmental Enforcement Officers.

Wiltshire Council will be seeking to work with a specialist contractor to help deliver energy efficiency measures to up to 175 existing homes in the county.

Preliminary works for the Salisbury River Park project are now complete. Work began in January to prepare the site ahead of the main construction work which will start in June.

Wiltshire Council has reiterated its strong objections to the plans

A major project to reduce flood risk and improve biodiversity and green space in Salisbury is set to progress after planning permission was granted for the first phase of the scheme.

Wiltshire Council is increasing its partnership working with Wiltshire Police to conduct roadside checks on people carrying waste in order to disrupt and prosecute fly-tippers. These people are breaking both stay at home government guidance and fly-tipping laws.
