Will these new signs dissuade fly tippers from spreading their filthy habit on a quiet country lane in Ormskirk?
The borough council's recently placed around seven signs along the length of Blackacre Lane reminding fly tippers of the relevant fines if caught.
'If caught' - that's the nub of the matter; wouldn't covert CCTV cameras be a much better investment at the Ormskirk and Burscough ends of the lane and the straight near the rear of Merrivale Farm?
Prolific summer undergrowth is hiding the tipping from prying eyes at the moment.
