The flytipping menace affecting Newport and other cities is highlighted by concerns expressed by Duffryn residents recently. The Tredegar Park Neighbourhood Committee heard residents refer to many examples of flytipping caused by their neighbours near Asda, McDonalds and St. Josephs School. The Council confirmed that it has dredged the reen near the School on three occasions in the past twelve months. Fly tipping in the reen by St Joseph’s School caused an increase in water levels and there were concerns regarding flooding. Tredegar Park Councillor Trevor Watkins informed the audience the matter had been reported to the City Contact Centre. It had been exceptionally wet period and there had also been a problem at Tredegar House lake, which feeds the reen. The Council has taken out a number of prosecutions recently against residents engaged in flytipping.
