Our picture shows three magistrates and their Legal Advisor posing for the camera. This scene is repeated each weekday in most large towns across England and Wales.
Where there is sufficient evidence in fly tipping incidents across Lancashire & North Merseyside these cases will be prosecuted initially in the local Magistrate's Court. (For another more imposing view of a Magistrate's Court navigate to the Courtroom page on this site.)
If you don't know what sentencing powers the Magistrate's have got you will find them on the Powers pages elsewhere on this site. But be assured Lancashire Magistrates are being trained to appreciate the effects fly tipping and other enviro crime is having on their environment.
These pages give examples of what local authorities and Courts both nationally and regionally are doing to ensure enviro criminals pay the price for their illegal waste deposition. Have a look at the National, Regional and Latest pages on this part of the web site.
New local prosecutions will be published on the Latest page before migrating onto the Regional page. We will not be afraid to name and shame in our efforts to stop this anti social criminal behaviour.
