Village that declared war on flytippers - and won! How locals clubbed together to buy spy cameras (with number plate recognition) and nailed criminals dumping everything from toxic waste to cannabis farm equipment
Dumping has risen by a depressing 76 per cent in England and Wales since the start of lockdown, when council tips closed and households spent their days decluttering. But in Barston the villagers are fighting back, with round-the-clock vigils and a £40,000 network of motion-activated CCTV surveillance cameras. Jeremy Emmett and children, centre, with Barston villagers whose system foiled a gang that dumped the cannabis waste, inset. In one case, the Barston CCTV system records a tipper van entering the village (top right) laden with asbestos and other rubbish, centre, which was dumped. The camera captured the empty van's number plate (bottom right) and the driver was arrested.
