Hot Spot

Illegal fly-tippers have been prevented from dumping waste near a popular park, thanks to Swale Borough Council and Kent Highways.

The council has had to routinely clear illegally dumped waste from Swale Way, behind Milton Creek Country Park. The isolated location meant it was difficult to catch the culprits, so Swale has worked with Kent Highways who have installed measures to restrict vehicle access, including a new fence and metal bollards.
