It was announced on Saturday that Doncaster Council will be one of 21 local authorities to benefit from the government scheme to crack down on fly-tipping.

Some £775,000 will be granted to councils nationally from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

The funds will go towards prevention and surveillance measures such as CCTV, fencing and improved waste infrastructure.

Councils will have six months to roll out initiatives using the funding, before sharing how these worked to support others.

The scheme was first introduced last year, with the funding pot doubled due to its success.

Nick Fletcher, MP for Don Valley, said on Twitter: “FLY TIPPING We really are getting there. Read on! The Government’s crackdown on fly-tipping continues with new grants for councils. Doncaster is 1 of the 21 selected out of the country. 1/7 https://t.co/vQgoQfN1w4 #Doncasterisgreat #stronglocaleconomy” / Twitter
