Councillor Anita Harrison, portfolio holder for waste management at Hull City Council, said: “Fly-tipping, littering and poor waste management are all forms of anti-social behaviour.

“By taking a tough stance on enforcement we can deter any potential offenders and we encourage members of the public not to shrink from reporting any perpetrators they see.

“We will prosecute and, when convicted, we will name and shame in the hope that we can put a stop to this kind of behaviour.”
