Rubbish was also dumped by the roadside at Birkenhills and commercial rubbish was improperly dumped in a bin store at Langstane Place. The clean-up cost for this will be met by Moray taxpayers and enquiries are ongoing to trace culprits who face fines for their inconsiderate and irresponsible actions. Abandoned vehicles are another form of fly tipping that has featured prominently in March with 12 reports in Elgin. A number of these vehicles have already been collected and destroyed as we don t store them. The last keeper of a vehicle may be liable for costs up to 250. Dog Fouling areas Hamilton Drive, Springfield Drive, North Street, Robertson Drive Forres & Upper Speyside CW Dave Haytack Forres is a lovely town that has won awards for its floral displays and cleanliness and whilst we do live in a comparatively clean area there is a problem with littering bubbling away. At this point I would commend the sterling work done by groups and individuals who give up their time to go out and clear areas of litter. Forres Community Clean Up in particular meet on a regular basis to take on this task. Some readers might not know that littering carries a fine of 80 which is the same as dog fouling. I recently spoke with primary pupils about dropping litter and encouraged them to use bins, particularly with regard to play times and lunch breaks. Did you know that throwing away a cigarette butt is an act of littering. This is often taken for granted, but cigarette butts contain various toxins, take years to biodegrade and are harmful to the environment. Dog Fouling areas Aberlour Primary School, Kintail Grove, Hepworth Lane and Califer Road, Forres 2

3 ASB Community Safety Report Lossiemouth Area CW Tim Betts In Lossie disruption has been caused by young people at the Library and also at the Community Centre. In response, a number of young people have been banned from these venues and joint patrols between Youth Workers and Community Wardens have been undertaken during the evenings to engage with them to prevent further CCTV cameras have also been utilised to prevent further disruption to staff and those accessing the services at both locations. In Hopeman a group of young people have been banging windows and throwing items at a number of properties during the evenings. This too has resulted in regular joint patrols with the Youth Worker and during which we engaged a number of young people. Along with the local Bobby, I also visited a number of parents to make them aware their child had been identified as throwing eggs at houses. Dog Fouling areas Duff Street and Havers Place, Hopeman. Grant Street and Cromarty View, Burghead. Shackleton Place, Lossiemouth. Keith / Fochabers Area CW Donna Jamieson Fly tipping is the illegal dumping of waste it can be anything from a bin bag of household rubbish to large quantities of tyres or building waste. It is a selfish act which becomes everyone s problem. The Loch Park layby on B9014 Keith to Dufftown road should be a great spot to take in the stunning view across the Loch but unfortunately it is better known as a fly tipping hotspot with everything from tyres, household rubbish and even a bathroom suite being left there. On a smaller scale, but on the same theme, loiterers littering at the Doocot in the Tinniver Park, Dufftown have been reported this month. I will be keeping an eye on this at key times over the next few weeks so jist pit it in the bin min. Well done to Milnes Primary School pupils who regularly carry out litter picks in the area to try and keep Fochabers as a pleasant place to live. This month the young litter pickers discovered a steering wheel and car door in the woods close to the school, this had obviously been deliberately dumped and the children were disappointed that someone could be so irresponsible and spoil what should be a safe area to play and explore. The pupils and adult helpers are always amazed at the amount of litter and full dog poo bags they come across. Fly tipping and littering is blight on our countryside and it s everybody s responsibility to address this. Dog Fouling areas Colvin Court, Keith Buckie Area CW Chris Haywood There has been an increase in complaints from residents about dog fouling in the area. Areas recently highlighted to me have included Portgordon, Buckie and Findochty the latter having received 3 complaints in the last month as well as a request from the Community Council for assistance in dealing with the problem. As part of our Op Typhoon I will be running a project with Findochty Primary School and the Banffshire Advertiser to highlight this problem. There are still incidents of ASB in Buckpool with youths knocking on doors throwing items, including eggs at houses and causing a general nuisance. Some of the affected residents have been given advice on this as well as use of CCTV to help detect and deter further incidents. Dog Fouling areas Buckpool harbour area, Seaview Road and Jubilee Terrace, Findochty. Richmond Terrace, Portgordon. 3
